Somewhere North Lyrics
<b>.:: Somewhere North ::.</b>
It's a muggy night in Houston
And all the intersections are like full serve stations
I'm on my way to a familiar place
It's cold in Kansas city
And you can no more hear me that I can see your face
How I wish it was just you and me
We wouldn't have to talk about the crowd
We wouldn't have to talk so loud
I give you my life and all I am
But what have it to give
So I hand you a candid photograph of this little boy
'Cause I've nothing to my name
But I can give you that
I don't miss the driving
Seems like forever
And I'm always driving in my mind
And wearing out the road that gets me there
And I'm driving till my eyes just can't see straight
But I suppose that it's getting late
I may never find the sleep
I've lost all feeling in my hands and
Feet may touch the ground but
My mind's somewhere north of here
And all the intersections are like full serve stations
I'm on my way to a familiar place
It's cold in Kansas city
And you can no more hear me that I can see your face
How I wish it was just you and me
We wouldn't have to talk so loud
But what have it to give
So I hand you a candid photograph of this little boy
'Cause I've nothing to my name
But I can give you that
Seems like forever
And I'm always driving in my mind
And wearing out the road that gets me there
But I suppose that it's getting late
I've lost all feeling in my hands and
Feet may touch the ground but
My mind's somewhere north of here

This song is soooo beutiful!!!!
man.. this song is so incredible...
this song is beautiful. i love how he says "i have nothing to my name but i can give you that" as in, his last name and marriage. love it.
This song is criminally underrated, but in a way, it's a good thing, because it makes it more personal; retains more melancholy.
I love this song. The way Derek's voice cracks and soars lends itself beautifully to the heart-wrenching sentiment in these lyrics. "We wouldn't have to talk above the crowd / we wouldn't have to talk so loud..." This will be my song until I find that person. "I'm always driving in my mind, and wearing out the road..."
