North of Nowhere is about...

Being met in your darkest moment by a the best kind of friend.

Lyrics

Began to ask where'd I end up

The roads all blurred and folded shut

Thought I’d gone too far to be found

No signs, no names, just empty ground


Then you showed up with no demand

No compass in your hand

You didn’t ask me to explain

Just walked beside me in the rain


You didn’t mark a better way

Or draw the lines I had to stay

You just let the silence breathe

And stayed right there, in it with me


You found me north of nowhere

Where the sky forgets to speak

Where even hope won’t echo

And my thoughts were growing weak

You didn’t need to fix it

You didn’t need a plan

You just stood still beside me

Like only real friends can


I never asked you how you knew

The place I was, I barely knew it too

But you read the air, not just my face

And didn’t treat my pain like space to chase


You didn’t tell me what to feel

You just made the silence real

Something in your quiet way

Said “we’ll stay lost today, okay?”


You didn’t draw a better line

You just helped me make peace with mine


You found me north of nowhere

Where the stars forget to shine

Where every path just fades away

And even light feels out of line

You didn’t need to guide me

Or show me where to land

You just stayed in my stillness

Like only real friends can


Some say love is fire

Or flight, or fight, or spark

But you proved it’s quiet

And showing up in the dark


You found me north of nowhere

Not asking me to run

Just letting me be broken

In the shadow, not the sun

You never asked for more than

What I had left to give

And somehow in that silence

You reminded me to live

Next song
