Northbound
I wanted you to know I was hugging the left lane on 17 speeding
Screaming out a broken heart
This is my getaway theme song, baby. Home again
Feels like snow again
I wanted you to hear this Bergen County eulogy I wrote
'Cause who were were then we are now dead to
Though I understand the pieces of the past are
Jigsawed, mosaic squares pasted permanently there
5, 4, 3, 2,1 headlights go out
I say a prayer to the speedometer
Pushing 80 now. Pedal under foot, I'm pressin' Northbound
I'm headed Northbound, yeah!
Oooh
10 and 2 and numb with a tab of vitriolic on my tongue
'Cause it gets darkest before illumination
And so as I drive through the desolation of the blue-black night
I inch my way into daylight
5, 4, 3, 2,1 headlights go out
I say a prayer to the speedometer
Pushing 80 now. Pedal under foot, I'm pressin' Northbound
I'm headed Northbound, yeah!
Oooh
Oooh
Settle down on the ground you rediscovered
You're not the only one (I know) to internalize
But when I see the pictures on the screen
When I watch the movie, that's not me!
There's someone else living in that shell
You know I've had my fill of false alarms, side-stepping any open arms
Because how can I...?
5, 4, 3, 2,1 headlights go out
You better pray to the speedometer!
Pushing 80 now. Pedal to the floor, I'm pressin' Northbound
I'm headed Northbound, yeah!
Oooh
Oooh
Northbound!
Screaming out a broken heart
This is my getaway theme song, baby. Home again
Feels like snow again
I wanted you to hear this Bergen County eulogy I wrote
'Cause who were were then we are now dead to
Though I understand the pieces of the past are
Jigsawed, mosaic squares pasted permanently there
5, 4, 3, 2,1 headlights go out
I say a prayer to the speedometer
Pushing 80 now. Pedal under foot, I'm pressin' Northbound
I'm headed Northbound, yeah!
Oooh
10 and 2 and numb with a tab of vitriolic on my tongue
'Cause it gets darkest before illumination
And so as I drive through the desolation of the blue-black night
I inch my way into daylight
5, 4, 3, 2,1 headlights go out
I say a prayer to the speedometer
Pushing 80 now. Pedal under foot, I'm pressin' Northbound
I'm headed Northbound, yeah!
Oooh
Oooh

Oooh
Oooh
Northbound!
