[Verse 1]
Breathin' in, breathin' out
How you been? You settled down?
You feelin' right? You feelin' proud?
How are your kids? Where are they now?

[Pre-Chorus]
You build a boat, you build a life
You lose your friends, you lose your wife
You settle in to routine
Where are you? What does it mean?

[Chorus]
If I get too close and I'm not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised out in the cold
If the sun don't rise 'til the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised on little light

[Post-Chorus]
Eh-ah-oh-eh
Eh-ah-oh-eh (Mm)
Eh-ah-oh-eh
Eh-ah-oh-eh

[Verse 2]
Bought some shit, you search online
You're gettin' lost, you're gettin' high
All alone late in life
Scared to live, scared to die
[Pre-Chorus]
You build a boat, you build a life
You lose your kids, you lose your wife
You settle down, you're feelin' lost
You're gettin' stoned, then kickin' rocks

[Refrain]
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm (Ooh)
Mm-mm, mm-mm (Ooh-ooh)
Mm-mm, mm-mm (Oh)
Eh-ah-oh-eh

[Chorus]
If I get too close and I'm not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised out in the cold
If the sun don't rise 'til the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised on little light

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh

[Chorus]
If you get too close and I'm not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised out in the cold
If the sun don't shine 'til the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised on little light
