The Academic - Northern Boy

Give me your hand
And we can say hello
Your daddy is big
But his mind is slow

Meet me out
The back in ten
She's tired of playing pretend

If she calls tonight
If she calls I will be there
I'll be there just like a light

Don't be afraid to love
This ain't a game of love
Don't be afraid to love
And love again
I don't get the way you feel
This ain't a movie reel
Don't be afraid to love
And love again

I'm making my way
To my brothers house
He's calling my phone
While she's holding her blouse

She snuck out the back
With some Northern Boy
Now she's sleeping in a forest
Trying to find some joy

Don't be afraid to love
This ain't a game of love
Don't be afraid to love
And love again
I don't get the way you feel
And this ain't a movie reel
Don't be afraid to love
And love again

Well can you hear me scream out
For broken hearts on the run
And can you hear me scream out
For broken hearts on the run

We'll take a trip to California
And we'll forget what we've lost
We'll take a trip down to the coastline
With lost angels uncursed
And there's a groom there drinking coffee
The coffees cold like my heart
And there's a birthmark on his shoulder
Burnt my cap seems from the start

Don't be afraid to love
This ain't a game of love
Don't be afraid to love
And love again

I don't get the way you feel
And this ain't a movie reel
Well don't be afraid to love
and love again
Don't be afraid to love
and love again
