North Star
The Rural Alberta Advantage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching the stars one at a time,
I lost the words I'm clutching on your hand tight,
Wear a small sweater and it looks nice,
I never felt better.
Then the North Star,
Guiding us home in your friend's car,
The sky is a map that's guiding back to my heart.
Then the North Star,
Guiding us home in your friend's car,
Follow the North Star,
It's leading you back into my heart.
And then we're home,
When we hit the city limits don't forget me for a minute tonight.
We're far apart under the same sky,
You're diving in the dark I'm in the city's lights,
Wishing just to see you for another night.
We're looking above for the North Star,
Guiding us home in your friend's car,
Will we ever take a chance or will we restart?
The sky is a map that's back to my heart.
Then the North Star,
Guiding us home in your friend's car,
Follow the North Star,
It's leading you back into my heart.
And then we're home,
When we hit the city limits don't forget me for a minute tonight.
Then the North Star,
Guiding us home in your friend's car,
Follow the North Star,
It's leading you back into my heart.
And then we're home,
When we hit the city limits don't forget me for a minute tonight.
The song “North Star” by The Rural Alberta Advantage is a beautifully crafted love song that talks about the longing of a couple to be together even though they are far apart. The song starts with the opening lyrics “Well our eyes, watching the stars one at a time” which sets the tone of the song as a melancholic and romantic one. The singer is holding on tightly to their lover’s hand and wearing a small sweater that looks nice. The singer then declares that they have “never felt better”, which emphasizes the importance and joy of being with their lover.
The chorus of the song then introduces the metaphor of the North Star guiding them home in their friend's car. It is a symbol of hope, a beacon of light, and represents the singer's desire to be with their lover. They are hoping to restart their relationship, and the sky is the map guiding the way back to their heart. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes this desire and hope, and the singer urges their lover to follow the North Star that is leading them back to their heart.
In the end, the song concludes with “And then we’re home, when we hit the city limits don’t forget me for a minute tonight” which shows that the singer is finally with their lover, and they don't want to be forgotten even for a minute. The song is a beautiful and poignant description of the longing for love, the sadness of being apart, and the joy of being together.

Well our eyes,
As we gaze at the night sky with each other,
Watching the stars one at a time,
We appreciate the beauty of the stars twinkling above us,
I lost the words I'm clutching on your hand tight,
I am lost in the moment and hold on to your hand tightly,
Wear a small sweater and it looks nice,
You look adorable in your cozy small sweater,
I never felt better.
Being close to you, I feel incredibly happy.
Then the North Star,
The North Star captures our attention as a symbol of guidance,
Guiding us home in your friend's car,
We ride in your friend's car and follow the North Star to find our way back home,
Will we ever take a chance or will we restart?
We wonder if we will take a leap of faith or start over again,
The sky is a map that's guiding back to my heart.
The sky and its stars serve as a map directing me back to where my heart is with you.
Follow the North Star,
We choose to follow the North Star as a guide for our journey,
It's leading you back into my heart.
It's leading you back to my heart where you belong.
And then we're home,
We are finally back in the place we belong,
When we hit the city limits don't forget me for a minute tonight.
As we part ways at the city limits, I ask that you remember me and our time together.
We're far apart under the same sky,
Even when we are physically separated, we share the same sky above us,
You're diving in the dark I'm in the city's lights,
You are exploring the unknown while I am immersed in the bright city lights,
Wishing just to see you for another night.
I long to spend another night with you and see your face once again.

@woodenfrog73 They are awesome! I just started listening to them too about a month ago. They are my new favorite band. Every song off both their albums is awesome! I made a playlist with a bunch of their songs. I can't believe that they've been around all this time and I've never heard of them till now.
