Christian Lee Hutson - Northsiders Lyrics

I was new in town, kinda goth
I met you in the science quad
You asked if I had any pot
"We're going up to Mikey's spot"

Covering important ground
Tried coke at my cousins house
Yeah I'm probably addicted now
Things that children bluff about

Didn't notice it was getting late
You offered me a place to stay
"We live up in the palisades
Tell your folks you ran away
Besides you're a north sider now"

Nothings going to change it pal

We were so pretentious then
Didn't trust the government
Said that we were communists
Thought that we invented it

Morrissey apologists
Amateur psychologists
Serial monogamists
We went to different colleges

You said that we would always be
Branches on the same old tree
Reaching away from
Each other for eternity
You know I can't argue with that

Nothings going to change it now

We could've a last hurrah
When I was working in the smoothie shop
But I couldn't get the weekend off
She told me I was getting soft

I read an article about the accident
Probably reaching for her cigarettes
And missed the break lights up ahead
I hope it was an instant death

Sometimes I imagine us way down the line
Getting fat somewhere in the country side
It's crazy how things shake out some time
Maybe that's enough magic for me

Nothings going to change it now
