[Verse 1]
Oh, in Pine Point, where I was born
The roads are all overgrown
And no one's lived there for years
The town was never the same
The mine was closed in '88
And everyone disappeared
In Pine Point, '86
My older brother died when we were kids
His best friend was wasted at the wheel
Oh, in Pine Point, nothin' but memories
The abandoned cemetery
Where we buried our family
And I hope you know what you're doing
[Chorus]
Up in Pine Point
Where I kept my eye on the prize
And it was you
It was you
Oh, in Pine Point
Where I kept my eye on the prize
And it was you
It was you
[Verse 2]
Oh, in Pine Point, it's deteriorating
And your memory started fading
So you called to let me know
You said, "It seems like forever
Since we've seen each other
Where does the time go?"
And I said, "I hope you know what you're doin'"
[Bridge]
In Pine Point
In the house we grew up in
You said the room you were born in
It was just how you left it
[Chorus]
Oh, in Pine Point
Where I kept my eye on the prize
And it was you
It was you
Oh, in Pine Point
Where I kept my eye on the prize
And it was you
It was you
[Outro]
I hope you know
I hope you know what you're doin' after all
I hope that you know
I hope you know
I hope you know what you're doin', after all
I hope that you know
What you're doin'!

‘Pine Point’ used to be a town in the Northwest Territories, Canada. On the first record, there’s a song called ‘Yukon’, which is about a camping trip I took in that area with my sister. On the way home from that tri...

There is a really incredible web documentary Welcome To Pine Point by a collective called The Goggles. A lot of the lyrics in this song are based around stories from the documentary.
