Lyrics
It's good to be back up north
Strange how the cold invokes the warmth
Though it falls in the midst of winter
I feel warmest here in late December
The clouds of breath that form at my lips
Are mere reminders of what I missed
The frost that forms on my window
Is little more than a sign welcome home
It's good to be back up north
I've missed it more than I bargained for
It's the coldest I'll feel all year
But my heart thaws out when I'm here
Ever since this newfound distance
I've missed this midwest Christmas
Something here just hits different
I've missed this midwest Christmas
Maybe I'm just nostalgic
Or maybe I'm just worn
But who needs the south
When you got the warmth of the north
It's good to be back up north
Even if the visit's short
Midwest my roots I'll return soon
I swear I'll come back home to you
