Ohly - North of Detroit

I couldn't hold the cold care
Of everyone's hand
After that first record
Went up on bandcamp
The tedious TV shows
And brief weeknight evenings
Will swallow up the daydreams
In my first home
Backseat of the suburban
Sipping on something burning
Follow your family's fears
Of never learning
I never want to stay until the
Midwest winter winds from Windsor to Detroit
Departed from my grasp I laugh
The crabgrass lasts much longer here
But still where is the snow
Sunlight streams will steer through
The hash in the fabric
Dreams will come to my mind
As soon as the moon hits
Of every Friday night in
My best friend's basement
I should've gone on more walks
Outside with my parents
I never want to stay until the
Midwest winter winds from Windsor to Detroit
Departed from my grasp I laugh
The crabgrass lasts much longer here
But still where is the snow, I'm sick of snow
Days last at first then move so fast
We hold onto bits of the past
I don't think that's so bad
Days last at first then move so fast
We hold onto bits of the past
I don't think that's so bad
There's something special about my nieces in the morning
With their bad breath, bed head, soft sweet snoring
That I sneak away adoring oh
Soccer cement heat our beat feet
Sun in the summer's eve
The dogs that weren't yet put to sleep
These times they keep me stuck between
Staying near or leaving here
Staying near or leaving here
I need thee O I need thee
Every hour I need thee
O bless me now my Savior
I come to thee
