Up North

Start driving up north To slow the wilting of my body Take in the view Breathe in the new air Play hide and seek with grief Wake with a clear head A moment of escape It's time to prepare Then it hits me all at once This is the rest of my life A constant ache But mountains don't rise Without earthquakes Take what's ours Carve it into stone Take what's left, remember my name And carry me home If we don't write our own story Our absence surely will So let's raise a little hell All at once This is the rest of our lives Our chance to take Mountains don't rise Without earthquakes I wish for you, fair winds and following seas It was a waterfall but all in all It was wonderful And all at once This is the rest of my life A twist of fate But mountains don't rise Without earthquakes Then it hits me all at once This is the rest of my life I'll bend and break Mountains don't rise Without earthquakes There's no time to waste 'Cause mountains don't rise
