Lyrics of Northern Boy by The Academic
verse
Give me your hand and we can say hello
Your daddy is big but his mind is slow
Meet me out the back in ten
She's tired of playing pretend
pre-chorus
If she calls, I will tell her
If she calls tonight
If she calls, I will be there
I'll be there just like a light
chorus
Don't be afraid to love
And this ain't a game of love
And don't be afraid to love and love again
I don't get the way you feel
And this ain't a movie reel
And don't be afraid to love and love again
verse
I'm making my way to my brother's house
He's calling her phone while she's holding her blouse
She snuck out the back with some Northern boy
Now she's sleeping in a forest trying to find some joy
chorus
Don't be afraid to love
And this ain't a game of love
And don't be afraid to love and love again
I don't get the way you feel
And this ain't a movie reel
Don't be afraid to love and love again
bridge
And can't you hear me scream out?
For broken hearts on the run
And can't you hear me scream out?
For broken hearts on the run
pre-chorus
We'll take a trip to California
And we'll forget what we've lost
We'll take a trip down to the coastline
Where lost angels are cursed
pre-chorus
And there's a brunette drinking coffee
The coffee's cold like my heart
And there's a birthmark on her shoulder
A birthmark I've seen from the start
chorus
And don't be afraid to love
And this ain't a game of love
And don't be afraid to love and love again
I don't get the way you feel
And this ain't a movie reel
And don't be afraid to love and love again
And don't be afraid to love and love again
Writer(s): Stephen Finian Murtagh, Matthew Bernard Murtagh, Dean Martin Gavin, Craig Mcgibney Fitzgerald
