I was running down the road,
The fear was all I knew.
I was looking for a soul that's real
Then I ran into you.
And that cherry blossom tree
Was a gateway to the sun,
And friendship once it's won
It's won, it's one.
[Chorus:]
Northside just across the river to Southside,
That's a long way here.
All the green and all the gold,
The hurt you hide, the joy you hold,
The foolish pride that gets you out the door,
Up on Cedarwood Road, on Cedarwood Road...
Sleepwalking down the road,
Not waking from those dreams,
'Cause it's never dead it's still in my head,
It was a warzone in my teens.
I'm still standing on that street,
Still need an enemy.
The worst ones I can't see,
You can, you can...
[Chorus:]
Northside just across the river to Southside,
That's a long way here.
All the green and all the gold,
The hurt you hide, the joy you hold,
The foolish pride that gets you out the door,
Up on Cedarwood Road, on Cedarwood Road...
If the door is open it isn't theft.
You can't return to where you've never left.
Blossoms falling from a tree they cover you and cover me,
Symbols clashing, bibles smashing,
Paint the world you need to see.
Sometimes fear is the only place we can call home...
Cedarwood Road...
A heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open.
