"New England Regret" lyrics

Used to go to Maine
Was a 2 hour drive
Now It takes just as long
In the LA traffic lines
Grew up on short days
And the freezing rain
Oh the sun feels good
But doesn't hit the same

Cause it runs through my veins
And it stains like the sea
Forget all my problems when I feel the northern breeze
I know I won't last long cause it won't let me forget
Oh I fear I might have New England regret

The west coast folks are lovely
With their sun kissed skin
But sometimes I feel their side eyes
Their gold-plated grins
Folks in New England might be upfront and insane
I miss when I knew everyone's last name

Cause it runs through my veins
And it stains like the sea
Forget all my problems when I feel the northern breeze
I know I won't last long cause it won't let me forget
Oh I fear I might have New England regret

I'm coming home
I'll come home again
Might take some time
Still got one foot in
I'm coming home
I'll come home again
Might take some time
Still got one foot in
Oooo

Cause it runs through my veins
And it stains like the sea
Forget all my problems when I feel the northern breeze
I know I won't last long cause it won't let me forget
Oh I fear I might have New England regret
Oooo
