North
Arrange Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We felt a lot coming back from the island where we were bound
Feeling ripped about ourselves and how we'd go along

Seeing a sister and seeing a brother that i had loved for years just fall
Becoming a person that i had loathed
That i had found couldn't speak at all

I won't become myself undone

I've learned that i'm important to someone
