Released on June 19th, this song’s first half is about Jongo Bongo’s self discovery adventure, and the second half is about him falling in love with a girl he met on a train.
[Verse 1]
There's no feelin' like pissing in the ocean
Or cooking on an open flame
Or walking on your 100th mile to a town you don't even know the name
Just hopped on a plane
Just looking for a change of pace
Everything forever changed
[Pre-Chorus]
Forever changed
Forever changed
[Chorus]
I want you, I won't lie
I'll take a train or bus or fly
To see the Northern Lights in the Canadian sky
With a drink and a smoke, just you and I
[Verse 2]
Feeling the pressure lately, I can barely bear the weight
I'm takin' stock, pickin' a lot, tryna get back into shape
Ovеr the Francis Mountains
I'm feelin' the pain
(It's a long road to maintain)
I still got a lot of life to livе
Too many Sundays stuck in bed
The refuge from my office gig, rather die than settle, this a way to live?
The years fly fast, can't believe the age I just passed
Can't believe that, many years ago when my dad passed
I gotta make something of myself for his ass
I walked on to the wrong train
You asked me my name
At the end of the day, we were sharing a place to stay
[Chorus]
I want you, I won't lie
I'll take a train or bus or fly
To see the Northern Lights in the Canadian sky
With a drink and a smoke, just you and I
[Verse 3]
Walked 500 miles to get to a new head space
My dreams have faded
I couldn't visualize that place I'd be con-content with day to day (Day to day)
Monotony (Monotony)
Life, change, and experience
Committed, already gone
Left my home and what I knew
Sometimes you just gotta move on
Never know when you'll bump into a stranger, who sets you on a path
But like when I was twelve years old, crushin' on the pretty girl in math class
What a trip, 40 days, Camino, if you've got a blank page
It changed my life, man
She did too
You never know when the lovebug will
Bite you
