Not From Here

VERSE 1

Hey stranger, you're so wide eyed

You’re looking for a receiving line

But it’s a different kind of vibe we do

You want to learn this society

And how to thaw the Seattle freeze

I’ll gladly share all my expertise with you

CHORUS 1

I’m not from here

But I’ve learned to call it home

I teach the language

But it’s not my native tongue

VERSE 2

To fit into the northern wild

They wanna see if you’ll survive

Half a year where the sun don’t shine a damn

But once you prove you’re an overcomer

And made it through to the golden summer

You’ve learned the secret handshake, brother man

CHORUS 2

You're not from here

But you'll learn to call it home

And speak the language

Though it’s not your native tongue

BRIDGE

But oh it leaves, leaves you no doubt

Those summer days when the mountain is out

VERSE 4

Here’s a secret, don’t be phased

You’re hard pressed to find a face

That's actually been born and raised right here

CHORUS 3

We're not from here

But we’ve learned to call it home

We speak the language

But it’s not our native tongue

ENDING

Don’t be aggravated

You’ll get acclimated

And you can share your ways with

The newly relocated
