...you'd be north.

taken from the song 'if my heart was a house' by owl city. absolutely gorgeous song. if you can see, it's a human heart and in it is a compass (sewn in with a needle) and the needle is the little arrow thing pointing north. the lyrics around the heart say:
circle me and the needle moves gracefully, back and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be north...
_{(that's where the needle comes into it, xD!)}

so yeah. i'm extremely proud of this one.

you're the sky that i fell through,
and i remember the view
whenever i'm holding you

the sun hung from a string
looking down on the world,
as it warms over everything

chills run down my spine,
as our fingers entwine
and your sighs harmonize with mine
unmistakably, I can still feel your heart
beat fast when you dance with me

we got older and i should've known
(do you feel alive?)
that I feel colder when i walk alone
(oh, but you'll survive)
so i may as well ditch my dismay
(bombs away, bombs away)

circle me and the needle moves gracefully,
back and forth if my heart was a compass, you'd be north
risk it all 'cause I'll catch you if you fall
wherever you go if my heart was a house, you'd be home.

it makes me smile because you said it best,
i would clearly feel blessed
if the sun rose up from the west.
flower balm perfume all my clothes smell like you,
'cause your favorite shade is navy blue

i walk slowly when i'm on my own
(Do you feel alive?)
yeah, but frankly I still feel alone
(oh, but you'll survive)
so I may as well ditch my dismay
(bombs away, bombs away)

circle me and the needle moves
gracefully back and forth
if my heart was a compass, you'd be north.
risk it all
'cause I'll catch you if you fall wherever you go
if my heart was a house, you'd be home

if my heart was a house, you'd be home
