North

Late at night we grab our things

Take the car and hit the road

Follow the old familiar trace

Laid in our secret code

The same old village by the sea

Once a second home for you and me

As we drive all through the night

We both don't dare to speak

So afraid we won't succeed

In finding what we seek

The same old village by the sea

Home of all our memories

That will hurt, rather than do us good

Life taught us many lessons

I thought we learned those lessons well

We should be old enough to face it

But we both don't say a word

Just speechlessly drive South

While emotionally, it feels

We're heading North

There are things that fall to dust

As soon as touched for real

(They're) meant to be kept safe deep inside

And not to be revealed

The same old village by the sea

Covered by the dust of centuries

That wiped out all the traces we had left

Life taught us many lessons

I thought we learned those lessons well

We should be old enough to face it

But we both don't say a word

Just speechlessly drive South

While emotionally, it feels

We're heading North
