Great Grey North

I get overjoyed, then bored by people

She tells me that friendship's fairly simple

'You start with your day, then you ask them how their own went

But you're the only one I see on weekends

That's your bed, make it well

Or you'll sleep alone.'

Great grey north

Into the city you were born

Nothing to do but continue

You're headed back

You keep on thinking of that

There's nothing to do but continue

Living with my dad is temporary

Signing a lease just starts to seem so scary

I remember the days we were crazy in Manchester

I remember the wake of amazement the day I left her

That was my rent, I paid in full

Now I sleep alone

Great grey north

Into the city you were born

Nothing to do but continue

You're headed back

You keep on thinking of that

There's nothing to do but continue

Dream of another life

See it with brand new eyes

Breathe it in, your lungs need the colder air

But I know it isn't fair

That you're better off back there

Great grey north

Into the city you were born

Nothing to do but continue

You're headed back

You keep on thinking of that

There's nothing to do but continue

Great grey north

Into the city you were born

Nothing to do but continue

You're freaking out

You keep on dreaming of how

There's nothing to do but continue
