North
Stop Motion Poetry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to get you off my mind
And I was soon to find
The poem did not rhyme
And when I called your name
So quickly you came
Here you will remain
And as I fall asleep
You're watching over me
And when I start to cry
I know you're by my side
And if I trip and fall
You're my all in all
So here we go
Fallin' asleep
All I know
Is you're here with me
Air is thin
And you help me to breathe
Now you're here
And you'll never leave
Something I forgot
And I'll never forget again
You love me quite a lot
And I'm sorry for giving in
Once upon a time
You knocked and I let you in
Soon I would find
How generous you've been
All that's left is a stained yellow shirt
What once was perfect now we don't deserve
Either way when I leave this earth
I know that there's a spot reserved for me
Just a little North of here.
So here we go
Fallin' asleep
All I know
Is you're here with me
Air is thin
And you help me to breathe
Now you're here
And you'll never leave
Something I forgot
And I'll never forget again
You love me quite a lot
And I'm sorry for giving in
Once upon a time
You knocked and I let you in
Soon I would find
How generous you've been

Once upon a time
Once upon a time
I tried to get you off my mind
I attempted to remove you from my thoughts
And I was soon to find
I discovered immediately
The poem did not rhyme
The words did not flow
And when I called your name
When I uttered your name
So quickly you came
You arrived with haste
Here you will remain
You will stay put here
I was to blame
I held fault
And as I fall asleep
When I drift to slumber
You're watching over me
You keep a watchful eye on me
And when I start to cry
If I begin to weep
I know you're by my side
I am aware of your presence
And if I trip and fall
If I stumble
You're my all in all
You are everything to me
So here we go
This is it
Fallin' asleep
Drifting off to slumber
All I know
The only knowledge I have
Is you're here with me
Is that you are present with me
Air is thin
Breathing is difficult
And you help me to breathe
You assist me in inhaling and exhaling
Now you're here
But now you are present
And you'll never leave
And you will never depart
Something I forgot
There was something I forgot
And I'll never forget again
And I will not forget again
You love me quite a lot
You love me significantly
And I'm sorry for giving in
I am regretful for yielding
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
You knocked and I let you in
You knocked, and I permitted you to enter
Soon I would find
I discovered shortly thereafter
How generous you've been
How munificent you have acted
All that's left is a stained yellow shirt
All that remains is a marked yellow garment
What once was perfect now we don't deserve
What was once impeccable, we are unworthy of now
Either way when I leave this earth
Regardless of how, when I depart this life
I know that there's a spot reserved for me
I am aware there is a designated place for me
Just a little North of here.
Just a bit North from this location.
