Picking up stakes, heading on the road
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
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
Leaving everything and everything I know
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
Pick up my pride and move along
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
