Where'd you learn to talk like that?Let's go outside so I can see your breathI wanna feel everything you've got to sayTell meYou grew up tall and sturdyGood set of shoulders, somebody's brotherDon't wanna hurt meBut we're probably in love without each otherThese boys from Northern TownsCould chew me up and spit me outAnd I'd like the way it feltStill wake up thinking aboutThese boys from Northern TownsCame up loud and pretentiousIn 20th century two-story housesAnd it's hard not to miss himHe talks like the places that I was raised inThese boys from Northern TownsCould chew me up and spit me outAnd I'd like the way it feltStill wake up thinking aboutThese boys from Northern TownsAnd these boys know betterThey can take whatever they've got that I neededAnd just try to be like himWalking home with my heart on the seamsAnd I'd keep it and leave if I knew how to be like these boysThese boys from Northern TownsCould chew me up and spit me outAnd I'd like the way it feltStill wake up thinking aboutThese boys from Northern Towns
