Dawson, Dawson take me to North Douglas
I want to see the home where my love grew up in
I want to see the house your dad built with his two hands
And when you take us can we see the water?
I heard this was the place where my love escaped to
All of the times she couldn't bear, there were quite a few
Tell me how it feels
To look into the window
And see these strangers living in this house
Built for you
Take me to North Douglas
Take me to North Douglas
Take it slow when talking 'bout the hard times
I can't imagine you were ever inside
You can get distracted by the mountains and the trees
Let me know when you're ready to head back
I wouldn't want to overstay my welcome
I wonder if you're feeling the exact same way
Tell me how it feels
To look into the window
And see these strangers living in this house
Built for you
One's standing in the kitchen
One's sitting on the floor
My only look into how your life was once before
Take me to North Douglas
Take me to North Douglas
Take me to North Douglas
Take me to North Douglas

A landmark of modern power pop and the document of a songwriter taking hold of his core strengths. You could be forgiven for thinking of it as 'My Aim is True' via Pacific Northwest guitar tones. Matt DeMello (himself)
