lyrics

I’m under the spell
I now know wild Yukon highways fairly well
Though those boring Ontarian roads feel like home
So far apart, I can’t keep both

How am I supposed to choose
Between the two
There are two parts of me telling me two different things
Please, don’t make me choose

I’m under the spell
Of getting close to a few folks I don’t know well
Though there’s one I really know who feels like home
I’m gonna’ break somebody’s heart, I can’t keep both

How am I supposed to choose
Between the two
There are two parts of me telling me two different things
Please, don’t make me choose

Don’t make me choose

I’m so far apart
I’m gonna break my heart
I can’t keep both
