Move Up North

Think about the place that you grew up
Does it bring back fond memories
How do I go about making a new life
When the people in this town despise me.

I've got a great idea, it's time to move away
I'll tell my friends I'm leaving the next day
Why you moving up north mate
They speak funny being honest it ain't great

I've made my plans and put my life in a box
I've sold my flat and even quit my job
I don't care what anyone says, cos what do they know
They're just jealous, nothing's gonna stop me from going

It's a 5 hour drive so I better get moving
Daydreaming about how life will be amazing
It's time for a new life and a fresh start
I think I've found the cure for a broken heart

Never thought it would happen like this
Never thought it would happen quite like this
(Move up north he's moving up north,
move up north he's moving up north)
Never had a love like this
Never had a love quite like this
(Move up north he's moving up north,
move up north he's moving up north)

There's an old saying people should remember
Something like the grass is always greener
Then you just blame it all on moving away
And you're praying for better days
Even worse your friends aren't all that
But your pride is too strong to call them back
Sitting on your own in a flat ain't so great, I've made a big mistake

Never thought it would happen like this
Never thought it would happen quite like this
(Move up north he's moving up north,
move up north he's moving up north)
Never had a love like this
Never had a love quite like this
(Move up north he's moving up north,
move up north he's moving up north)

Never thought it would happen like this
Never thought it would happen quite like this
(Move up north he's moving up north,
move up north he's moving up north)
Never had a love like this
Never had a love quite like this
(Move up north he's moving up north,
move up north he's moving up north)

New town new flat new job
I'm getting so damm lost
New girl new clothes new phone
I'm gonna move back home
I'll move back home
