Picking up stakes heading on the road
Finally follow the sun
Home in my heart but now I know
That my days here are done
I can't stay when it's so easy to be free
But I can't stay
I've got this feeling pulling me

But I'll hold on hold on to all those summer nights
I swore to myself I would see those northern lights
And I'll be taking with me every lesson every memory
That keeps my going strong
If I don't make it up the mountain
I will learn from the fall
Learn from the fall

Leaving everything and everything I know
Time to say good bye
Every time I try to shake it off and let go
The past creeps in like a spy
I can't say that it's been easy on the road
But I can't stay 'cause every new city is my home

But I'll hold on hold on to all those summer nights
I swore to myself I would see those northern lights
And I'll be taking with me every lesson every memory
That keeps me going strong
If I don't make it up the mountain
I will learn from the fall
I'll take it on
Pick up my pride and move along
No more regrets
It's not over yet
As tough as it gets
I'll take the hits

But I'll hold on hold on to all those summer nights
I swore to myself I would see those northern lights
Hold on hold on to all those summer nights
I swore to myself I would see those northern lights
And I'll be taking with me every lesson every memory
That keeps me going strong
If I don't make it up the mountain
I will learn from the fall
Learn from the fall
