On a cold Manhattan day in March, Olivia escaped the chaotic city for a lonely house upstate nestled along the ocean – on Norfolk Drive.
Inspired by the cold, quiet days by the ocean, Norfolk Drive marks the first song Olivia produced entirely by herself. The vocal and lyric narrative came natural...
Verse 1:
Yeah I met you on the first day of August so many years ago
Heard you got into some bad things, no I didn't want that no
You can keep your keepsakes
‘Cause I tend to let things go
Pre-Chorus:
And I run and I run and I run and I run
Just like I’ve always done
And I run and I run and I run and I run
Just like I've always done
Chorus:
I ride the train to the end of the line
See the West, and South, and North on the signs
Eastside wind-chill, negative five
Got a dead-end mind on Norfolk Drive
I've been hidin’ from time to time
No my dear, woven colors in my eyes
Eastside wind-chill, we'll be just fine
At the end of the telephone lines
Verse 2:
Ran into you on the subway, you caught me one foot out the door
Said you got into some bad things, but you don't want to be anymore
We don't have to stay here no no
I know a place we can go
Chorus:
I ride the train to the end of the line
See the West, and South, and North on the signs
Eastside wind-chill, negative five
Got a dead-end mind on Norfolk Drive
I've been hidin' from time to time
No my dear, woven colors in my eyes
Eastside wind-chill, we'll be just fine
At the end of the telephone lines
Bridge:
Oh we can run we can run we can run we can run
Just like we've always done
We can run we can run we can run we can run
Just like we’ve always done
Chorus:
I ride the train to the end of the line
See the West, and South, and North on the signs
Eastside wind-chill, negative five
Got a dead-end mind on Norfolk Drive
I’ve been hidin' from time to time
No my dear, woven colors in my eyes
Eastside wind-chill, we’ll be just fine
At the end of the telephone lines
