The Academic – Northern Boy lyrics

[Verse 1]
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-Chours]
If she calls, I will tell her
If she calls tonight
And 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
Don't be afraid to love
And love again

[Verse 2]
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
And now she's sleeping in a forest
Tryna find some joy

[Chorus]
Don't be afraid to love
And this ain't a game of love
Don't be afraid to love
And love again
I don't get the way you feel
This ain't a movie reel
Don't be afraid to love
And love again

[Bridge]
Can't you hear me scream out?
For broken hearts on the run
Can't you hear me scream out?
For broken hearts on the run

[Verse 3]
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
And there's a groom there drinking coffee
The coffee's cold like my heart
And there's a birthmark on her shoulders
A birthmark I've seen from the start

[Chorus]
Don't be afraid to love
And this ain't a game of love
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

[Outro]
Oh, don't be afraid to love
And love again
