Further North Lyrics

All these riches

As far away as the dishes

At the countertop I'm sitting at

Staring at a teacup cracked in half

These simple deeply held-to loves

The ease with which they're spoken of

I'm jealous of the air around those words

How do i ask permission

To head up further north?

I've memorized the mission

I'm required to set forth upon

I'd rather lie here on the lawn, on the lawn

All these bleeding knees

Darkening your southern seas

I feel you hide in every word

Deliberately and heartlessly misheard

This simple deeply held-to hate

The ease with which it's laid as bait

I'm jealous of the water in those eyes

How do i ask permission

To head up further north?

I've memorized the mission

I'm required to set forth upon

I'd rather lie here on the lawn, on the lawn

How do i ask permission

To head up further north?

I've memorized the mission

I'm required to set forth upon

I'd rather lie here on the lawn

I'd rather lie here on the lawn

I'd rather lie here on the lawn, on the lawn
