Missy Higgins, Going North

I wanna dance the tango with chance
I wanna ride on the wire
Cos nothing gets done with dust in your gun
And nobody respects a liar
So goodbye for a while I’m off to explore
Every boundary and every door
Yeah I’m going north

I wanna know where children would go
If they never learnt to be cool
Cos nothing’s achieved when pushed up a sleeve
Till nobody thinks you’re a fool
So goodbye for a while I’m out to learn more
About who I really was before
Yeah I’m going north

Up where the hunted hide with ease
Under the arms of eye-less trees
Up where the answers fall like leaves
Oh and your love is all I need
Yeah I’m going north

This song has so much meaning in my life, Missy released this CD when I moved to North Yorkshire; and my time there was (and still is) everything and more that she sings about. In bold are the lyrics that truly touched me and still mean so much to me. Every time I hear this song I am transported back to almost 4 years ago, at an incredibly easy and peaceful time in my life - when I was drop dead happy, there were no cool kids, I was learning about myself, and had just fallen in love.
