alaska Lyrics

You asked me to meet you in alaska

I was hesitant to go up there

Sure, it's filled with serenity and light

For only three months of the year

I got your letter, should i bring my sweater?

For the mountains we'll climb, said you'd take me sky high

In lonely isles of listerine for miles

Does it ever get too cold that it's hard to breathe?

Well i guess i'll buy my ticket to alaska

I've never been one for the cold but i'll have to

Get used to the north tundra floor that could crash

Underneath me and i bet with forests so vast

I'd get lost captivated by whispers from the ash

But i'd do it for you,

Do it for you

Late afternoon in alaska

Surprised by the beauty in the air

How long 'til winter was all i asked you

Wanna soak in the green everywhere

Cold grey November, I'm wearing your sweater

It's wrapping me tight while i stay for the night

I was nervous it was too soon, could i really love you?

Feeling uncertain if you'll love me right...

Well i bought my ticket to meet you in alaska

I think i can handle the cold, i won't have to

Be scared of the north tundra floor that won't crash

Underneath me and i've walked the forests, so vast

I get lost captivated by whispers from the ash

But i'm doin' it for you,

Doin' it for you

The wild ice blue of the sea intrigued me

Naively i jumped in to find how deceiving

The beauty turned harsh

And everything that i'd grown to love

Turned dark

Well i bought my ticket coming back from alaska

Couldn't handle the cold, packed my sweater and ran from

The north tundra floor, yeah it crashed underneath me

And i ran through the forests so fast you couldn't save me

Went crazy hearing whispers from the ash

And i couldn't believe that i went

To alaska for you

I wish i didn't go

To alaska for you
