North Lyrics

I'm nervous, couldn't tell you why
Touching me, hands warm on my thighs
And I know I could turn a blind eye
Afraid of what I'm gonna find
Does it really have to be this way?
Oh, when my body hasn't felt the same?
Since you left my apartment
Think how it feels to have your scent

I just want to let you know
I'm seeing sides that you don't show
And I know that we got some potential
'Cause that love you gave me was so gentle

Do you think that you could stay?
I need more time, I need to get away from you
For my lover
Spinning all on the ground
Is it all I have? What are you saying?
Usually I'd be fine, but my head is spinning
I never let anybody in
Somehow you got under my skin

Never seen a face like yours
I got it together but my breath feels short
I don't wanna close the door
Maybe I should just go up north

All I'm tryna say
Is I miss you in every way
Fingertips on my back
Things I know that I can't have

Never seen a face like yours
I got it together but my breath feels short
I don't wanna close the door
Maybe I should just go up north

(Maybe I should just go up north)
(Maybe I should just go up north)

What is the Meaning of North?

A symphony of longing and unfulfilled desire, Clairo's track is a poignant exploration of the aftermath of a relationship. The lyrics convey an emotional tug-of-war as our singer battles between wanting to move on ("Maybe I should just go up north") and being unable to let go of the past ("I miss you in every way"). The "north" could symbolize a place far from the memories and emotions that are currently causing her pain. With raw honesty, she admits to the vulnerability love has brought her ("I never let anybody in / Somehow you got under my skin"), proving once again that love, with all its beauty and heartache, remains one of life's most complex enigmas.
