I’ll trade the palm trees of Daytona Beach
for Maple leaves in northern skies
I’ll leave concrete for softer things
I won’t even say goodbye
run as fast as I can
in the morning I’ll feel better
this salty New England air
brings love and loss in equal measure
I catch my face in the window panes
someone I’ve never seen before
I dip my toes in frozen lakes
and track the mud in through the door
run as fast as I can
in the morning I’ll feel better
this salty New England air
brings love and loss in equal measure
tell me I’m safe here
tell me there's nothing to fear
tell me I’m fine, I’m still learning all the time
chase the sunset just to howl at power lines
howl at power lines
I traded palm trees for Maple leaves
I think I finally know why
‘cause I’ve been smiling when I wake
under this Massachusetts sky
