Tori Amos - Northern Lad

Had a northern lad. Well, not exactly had
He moved like the sunset
God who painted that

First he loved my accent, how his knees could bend
I thought we'd be ok, me and my molasses

But I feel something is wrong
But I feel this cake just isn't done
Don't say that you don't
And if you could see me now
Said if you could see me now
Girls you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When you're only wet because of the rain

He don't show much these days, it gets so fucking cold
I loved his secret places but I can't go anymore
"You change like sugar cane" says my northern lad
I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars

I feel the west in you
But I feel it's falling apart too
Don't say that you don't

"My heart goes out to where that song [Northern Lad] comes from. It's very much about thinking you were loved for who you were, and realizing you weren't and realizing maybe you don't love yourself. /.../ You can only be you. A lot of times it's never enough for people."
