Born on a train nowhere
I was born in a car out there
You were bound to live this life
You were bound to be alive
When i was a young man
I looked up to the ones by my side
I was bound by a love and despair
I was bound by a love and despair
Last son
You gotta a nerve to come back here again
But i guess that's how it goes
You always hurt the ones you know
Last son
Tell me how you know
When your love wont die or grow
I am that son
Born to a northern star
With the fallow stretching far
I never knew there's another way
I never knew i'd leave this way
Now i'm an older man
Trying to accept the person i'am
I was born to live this way
I was bound to live this way
But i want to see you again
But i guess that's how it goes
You always hurt the love you know
Last son
Tell me how did you know
When your love wont die or grow
Last son
Well i wonder how you know
Why your love wont die or grow
But i guess that's how it goes
You gotta learn to let them
Let those people go
Learn to let them go
Last son
