North Star

Tell me a secret
I promise to keep it
Say something of value
I just want to know you underneath it all
You're holding your anchor
So no one can drown you
You want to be honest
It's something you just can't do

Now we walk out
Feeling stressed out
And I'm over this

You don't have to go
But you won't stay here
Do you want to know what keeps me believing?
Sometimes it's a long ride
And sometimes it's just right

Give me a reason
I promise to sleep on it
Say something that you've never said
Emotionally relevant
I grab on your anchor
So now we're both drowning
I don't want to love you
You're someone I just can't lose

Now we walk out
Feeling stressed out
And I'm over this
With my head in my hands
And the truth never said out loud

You don't have to go
But you won't stay here
Do you want to know what keeps me believing?
Sometimes it's a long ride
And sometimes it's just right

And you don't have to go
But you can't stay here
I don't want to know
Don't think I believe it
Sometimes it's a long ride
And maybe it's just right

Now I wonder where you are
Am I still your north star?
Still your north star?
Now I wonder where you've been
Am I still your best friend?
Still your best friend

You don't have to go
But you won't stay here
Do you want to know what keeps me believing?
Sometimes it's a long ride
And sometimes it's just right

Well then you don't have to go
But you can't stay here
I don't want to know
Don't think I believe this
Sometimes it's a long ride
But maybe it's just right

(On and on, it's all we know
Don't want to stay, don't want to go)

Sometimes it's a long night
But mostly it's just fine
Sometimes it's a long ride
But maybe it's not right
