Noah Kahan Sentence Starters Stick Season (We’ll Be Here Forever)
Content Warning For: Suicidal ideations/imagery, mentions of alcohol/drugs, depression/melancholia, mentions of COVID
Northern Attitude:
How you been? Settled down?
How’re your kids?
Where are you?
What does it mean?
Forgive my northern attitude
Stick Season:
I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
Memories are something even smoking weed does not replace
Doc told me to travel but there's COVID on the planes
I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
I just like to play the victim
I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad that I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad
I’m no longer funny
My other half was you
I hope this pain’s just passing through 
I doubt it
All My Love:
How have things been?
Well, now that you mention it
I'm saying too much but you know how it gets out here
No winter coat could keep out all the cold of your atmosphere
You got all my love
If you need me dear, I'm the same as I was
You burrowed in under my skin
What I'd give to have you out from me
I just hope that your scars heal
I swear I was scared to death
She Calls Me Back:
Oh, there was heaven in your eyes
Everything’s alright when she calls me back
Look at me and don't you lie
For bullshit I do not have time
Does it bite at your edges?
Do you lie awake restless?
Why am I so obsessive?
This town's the same as you left it
The radio is taunting me
I don't get much sleep most nights
I'm seeing you in every dream
If only I could wake you up
If only I could fall asleep
I'll love you when the oceans dry
I'll love you when the rivers freeze
I was too afraid of living life in your footsteps
Come Over:
I’m in the business of losing your interest
Don't you know there's a coffin buried under the garden?
You won't have to guess who they're speaking about
I'm in the process of clearing out cobwebs
I was taking the wrong meds
It feels good to be sad
I know that it ain’t much
I know that it ain’t cool
You don’t have to tell the other kids at school
Someday I’m gonna be somebody people want
New Perspective:
Silence is making me nostalgic
We were kids but that don't make this less hard
If I could fly I doubt I'd even do it
You made Ohio feel just like Central Park
You and all of your new perspective now
Everywhere, Everything:
It's been a long year
Would we survive in a horror movie?
We trust everyone we meet
I wanna love you 'till we're food for the worms to eat
Keep my hand in yours
Orange Juice: 
Honey, come over
We know you got sober
There's orange juice in the kitchen
It’s yours if you want it
We're just glad you could visit
The last time I drank I was face down passed out there on your lawn
Are we all just crows to you now?
Are we all just pulling you down?
You didn't put those bones in the ground
Strawberry Wine:
Darling speak to me
Remember telling me that you thought you were cursed?
I'm in love with every song you've ever heard
If I could lose you I would
We buried your bones in plywood
I said love is fast asleep on a dirt road with your head on my shoulder
For you, darling, for you
No thing defines a man like love that makes him soft and sentimental like a stranger in the park
For a few moments, I see you
Growing Sideways:
So I took my medication
We argued about Jesus
I said I’m cured
I’m still angry at my parents
But it’s a start
I ignore things
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
I guess I’ll drive
So I forgot my medication
Now I’m suffering in style
Why is pain so damn impatient?
It's better to die numb than feel at all
Halloween:
I'm sailing away to a place I'm afraid of
I'm drinking my days with the coastal longshoreman
I drink 'till I drown and I smoke 'till I'm burning
I worry for you
You worry for me
I'm leaving this town and I'm changing my address
I know that you'll come if you want
There's a murder of crows in the low light off Boston
Homesick:
Two months since you got back
Are you bored yet?
The weather ain’t been bad
If you’re into masochistic bullshit
This place is such great motivation for anyone tryna move
Time moves so damn slow
I swear I feel my organs failing
I would leave if only I could find a reason
I'm mean because I grew up in New England
I got dreams but I can't make myself believe them
I’m homesick
Still:
I don’t want to say goodbye
You find love that lasts a while 'till you lose the reasons
You miss something that you can't place but you can't deny it
It's like I'm still here with you
It's a bottomless hole I've found out here with a trace of no one
The View Between Villages:
For a minute the world seems so simple
I’m seventeen again
I am not scared of death
I’ve got dreams again
Your Needs, My Needs:
Oh well, who was I?
Who was I to watch you wilt?
You ain't gotta tell me what it means
You'll always be a flower on my skin
I promise to be there this time
I'm naming the stars in the sky after you
Dial Drunk:
I'm remembering I promised to forget you now
I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown in the name of someone I no longer know
I don't like that when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I’d die for you
The dial tone is all I have
I beg you, sir, just let me call
Let's wait I swear she'll call me back
Son, are you a danger to yourself?
Son, why do you do this to yourself?
Paul Revere:
This place had a heartbeat in its day
The boys are drunk
But it just ain't that simple, it never was
One day I'm gonna cut it clear
I’m not from around here
I'll leave before the road crew's out
Folks just disappear
If I could leave, I would've already left
No Complaints:
Thought I had something
That's the same as having something
I'd get mad at nothing
Blame my dad for something
I'd pull no punches
Thought I was raised better
Hope the skin heals where the pain enters
I set a time, then I showed up
Now the weight of the world ain't so bad
I filled the hole in my head with prescription medication
Who am I to complain?
And now the pain's different
I can finally eat and I can fall asleep
Call Your Mom:
Oh, you’re spiraling again
Don't let this darkness fool you
All lights turned off can be turned on
I’ll drive all night
I’ll call your mom
If you could see yourself like this, you'd have never tried it
Oh dear, don't be discouraged
I've been exactly where you are
Throw a punch, fall in love, give yourself a reason
Don't wanna drive another mile wondering if you're breathing
Won’t you stay with me?
You’re Gonna Go Far:
This is normal conversation, babe, it's all fine
The college kids are getting so young, ain't they?
I got tired of the frat boys with the brights on
"This is good land" or at least it was
Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
We're overdue for a revival
We spent so long just getting by
You told me you would make a difference

i am on my second noah-kahan-lyric titled fic and i realized i never did one of the lists for his songs as the crows.
i am still working on his other albums, but i have a stick season obsession and i will be using just stick season for this list. and i'll reblog with my edits once i've listened to his whole discography.
kaz brekker -- growing sideways -- "i'm terrified i might never have met me // if my engine works perfect on empty, i guess i'll drive." -- between this song and northern attitude, this one is more hopeful for his happy ending, i think.
inej ghafa -- the view between villages -- "the things that i lost here, the people i knew, they've got me surrounded for a mile or two." -- this song is the happy ending of the story in this album in the exact same way that inej leaving ketterdam is her happy ending in the duology.
jesper fahey -- homesick -- "this place is such great motivation for anyone trying to move the fuck away from hibernation." -- this is about being angrily tired of your boring monotonous hometown. do not try to fight with me over this.
wylan van eck -- new perspective (& a troubled mind off of cape elizabeth) -- "you and all of your new perspective, now // wish i could shut it in a closet and drag you back down." -- i feel like this song is wylan in the first book, i cannot explain.
nina zenik -- all my love -- "i'm still out here with the pills and the dogs if you need me, dear. i'm the same as i was, it's all okay." -- it's the perfect mix of her before they broke matthias out of hellgate and post-ck. love.
matthias helvar -- stick season -- "i'll dream each night of some version of you that i might not have, but i did not lose." -- i'm sorry. the song really is matthias, but i couldn't resist putting that lyric as the fucking tag thing, especially because the song is mostly able to be related to hellgate/early soc matthias.
jordie rietveld -- halloween -- "collect every dream in these old empty pockets and hope that i'll need them some day." -- i couldn't be more sorry, but i could write an entire analysis on this choice.
kanej -- orange juice -- "are we all just crows to you now? are we all just pulling you down?" -- if the writer himself looked me in the eyeballs and said he wrote this song about kanej, i would believe him wholeheartedly.
wesper -- she calls me back -- "does it bite at your edges? do you lie awake restless? why am i so obsessive, hanging on to every sentence?" -- this screams pre-relationship wesper while they were pretending not to have raging crushes on each other.
helnik -- still -- "it's like i'm still here with you." -- again, couldn't be more sorry. it's funny that they call this man folk malone, which makes me laugh so hard, but his music is actually fucking depressing.

she calls me back by Noah Kahan is such an ineffable spouses song to me:
Oh There was Heaven in your eyes I was not baptized Everything's alright when She calls me back, she calls me back Lost for a long time Two parallel lines Everything's alright when She calls me back, she calls me back
The radio is taunting me Every song a minor key And I don't get much sleep most nights I'm seeing you in every dream If only I could wake you up If only I could fall asleep I'll love you when the ocean's dry I'll love you when the rivers freeze
Look at me and don't you lie I could be your sacrifice But don't you hold your head up high For bullshit, I do not have time I can be an old tattoo To remind me when I get bad news And I do not exist to die But live to die while saving you
Does it bite at your edges? Do you lie awake restless? Why am I so obsessive? Hanging onto every sentence This town's the same as you left it Your page is blank but I read it I still dial 822-993-167

She Calls Me Back through the Lens of Merthur
There was Heaven in your eyes. I was not baptized
It’s believed by some Christians that in order to get to Heaven, you need to be baptized. So this line means that while Merlin sees something that he desires in Arthur’s eyes it is something he can not have. Arthur is not his to hold.
Everything's alright when She calls me back, she calls me back
This line is after Arthur dies. Merlin believes everything will be ok once Arthur is back.
Lost for a long time. Two parallel lines
With his death Arthur becomes lost to Merlin for centuries. They are two sides of the same coin they are always together but in a way never truly touch similar to how parallel lines never intersect.
Look at me and don't you lie I could be your sacrifice
Ok this makes me think of the episode where Merlin is the bait for an ambush. This could be a piece of dialogue because I could imagine Merlin proposing the idea, but Arthur wouldn’t like it. Merlin has always been willing to sacrifice things for Arthur what more is getting put in a little danger when he puts himself in danger all the time for Arthur.
But don't you hold your head up high For bullshit, I do not have time
Merlin get annoyed because Arthur gets himself into unnecessary trouble that he has to fix whether that’s by being arrogant, which Merlin hates or by being too stuck to his morals and choices, which well Merlin loves he doesn’t have time for it when it puts Arthur at risk,
I can be an old tattoo. To remind me when I get bad news
Merlin chooses to be stuck as an old man after Arthur dies to remind himself not to get attached or start relationships because it only ends badly
And I do not exist to die But live to die while saving you
Merlin doesn’t desire to die or need to die for the prophecy. But he lives for Arthur which means he’d die for him. He risks his life all the time by fighting adversaries and simply by being magic in Camelot.
Does it bite at your edges? Do you lie awake restless? Why am I so obsessive? Hanging onto every sentence.
Merlin wonders sometimes if Arthur feels the weight of the prophecy the way he does.
This town's the same as you left it Your page was blank but I read it. I still dial 822-993-167. The radio is taunting me Every song a minor key
Merlin still hurts like he did when he lost Arthur. He still wanders back to the Lake of Avalon where he buried his friends. It seems that even in this modern world he’s reminded of his pain even in something like music.
And I don't get much sleep most nights. I’m seeing you in every dream
Merlin dreams of Arthur every night. He thinks too much of Camelot of what he could have done better so things didn’t end so horribly. He has nightmares of Arthur’s death.
If only I could wake you up. If only I could fall asleep
Merlin just wants Arthur to come back or at least for him to be able to pass on to see Arthur and all his loved ones in the afterlife.
I'll love you when the ocean's dry I'll love you when the rivers freeze
Merlin will love Arthur forever. Even centuries in the future he still waits for Arthur.
All the pain I should have saved. Oh, I was too afraid of living life in your footsteps. In your heart or in your head. Oh, I was too afraid of living life in your footsteps.
With the ability to look back on things Merlin realizes all the pain he could have avoided if he hadn’t been so worried about prophecies. If he hadn’t been so concerned about stopping the bad futures he saw he could have avoided them entirely. But by trying to avoid it he followed the footsteps destiny assigned him

Lyric Starters from Stick Season by Noah Kahan
Northern Attitude
How you been?
Settled down?
You feelin' right?
Feelin' proud?
How are your kids?
Where are they now?
Where are you?
What does it mean?
If I get too close and I'm not how you hoped, forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised out in the cold
Oh, I was raised on little light
[I/You] bought some shit
[I’m/You’re] gettin' lost
[I’m/You’re] gettin' high
[I’m/You’re] all alone, late in life
[I’m/You’re] scared to live
[I’m/You’re] scared to die
You settle down
[I’m/You’re] gettin' stoned, then kickin' rocks
Stick Season
You promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
You must've had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive
Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right
Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
Memories are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace
I am terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains
It's the season of the sticks
She forgot that I existed
It's half my fault
I just like to play the victim
I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas
I'll dream each night of some version of you that I might not have, but I did not lose
That'll have to do
I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad, that I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from Dad
I am no longer funny 'cause I miss the way you laugh
You once called me "forever," now you still can't call me back
My other half was you
I hope this pain's just passin' through, but I doubt it
All My Love
‘How have things been?’ Well, love, now that you mention it
My folks still talk but they speak in these two-word sentences
[I’m/You’re] sayin' too much
[I/You] know how it gets out here
No winter coat could keep out all the cold of your atmosphere
Now I know your name but not who you are
There ain't a drop of bad blood
You got all my love while I'm still out here
Writе me a list of how it is, of how it was, of how it has to be
You burrowed in under my skin
What I'd give to have you out of me
I still recall how the leather in your car feels
At the end of it all I just hope that your scars heal
I looked so confident, babe, I swear, I was scared to death
I smiled stupid the whole way home
You said, "I'll never you let go"
She Calls Me Back
There was Heaven in your eyes
Everything's alright when she calls me back
Look at me and don't you lie
I could be your sacrifice
Don't you hold your head up high
For bullshit, I do not have time
I do not exist to die, but live to die while saving you
Does it bite at your edges?
Do you lie awake restless?
Why am I so obsessive?
This town’s the same as you left it
Your page was blank, but I read it
The radio is taunting me
I don't get much sleep most nights
I'm seeing you in every dream
If only I could wake you up
If only I could fall asleep
I'll love you when the ocean's dry
I'll love you when the rivers freeze
I was too afraid of living life in your footsteps
Still she calls me back
Come Over
I'm in the business of losin' your interest
I turn a profit each time that we speak
My house was designed to kinda look like its cryin', the eyes are the windows, the garage is the mouth
You won't have to guess who thеy speakin' about
Come over, come over
I'm in the process of clearin' out cobwebs
Feels good to be sad
My mouth was designed for my foot to fit in it
I promise you, darlin', with the view in the morning, you won't ever go back
I know that it ain't much
I know that it ain't cool
You don't have to tell the other kids at school
My dad'll strike it rich
We'll be the big house on the block
Someday I'm gonna be somebody people want
New Perspective
Silence is making me nostalgic
We were kids, but that don't make this less hard
If I could fly I doubt I'd even do it
I'd probably get high and crash or something stupid
You made this place feel just like Central Park
Paper bags drift wherever the wind blows and mine's full of receipts
This town’s for the record now
The intersection got a Target and they're calling it downtown
You and all of your new perspective, wish I could shut it in a closet and drag you back down
Gave me your word and now I can't pronounce it
No thing so sure that I can't learn to doubt it
Now the state bird, it sings our song so out of key
Everything, Everywhere
It's been a long year
Would we survive in a horror movie?
We trust everyone we meet
I wanna love you 'til we're food for the worms to eat
I wanna love you 'til our fingers decompose
Drive slowly
I know every route in this county
Maybe that ain't such a bad thing
Orange Juice
Honey, come over
The party's gone slower
No one will tempt you
We know you got sober
There's orange juice in the kitchen
It's yours if you want it
We're just glad you could visit
I've been ready for you to come home for so long
I didn't think to ask you where you'd gone
Why'd you go?
You said my heart has changed
My soul has changed
Now my face has changed
See the graves as you pass through
Not one nick on your finger
You just asked mе to hold you
It made you a stranger and filled you with angеr
Now I'm third in the line up to your Lord and your Savior
My life had changed, this town had changed and you had not
Don't you find it strange that you just went ahead and carried on?
The last time I drank I was face down, passed out there in your lawn
Are we all just crows to you now?
Are we all just pullin' you down?
You didn't put those bones in the ground
Strawberry Wine
Darling, speak to me but don't you say a word
Light a cigarette, I'll watch it as it burns
Remember telling me that you thought you were cursed?
I'm in love with every song you've ever heard
If I could lose you, I would
We buried your bones in plywood
Love is fast asleep on a dirt road with your head on my shoulder
Those things I miss but know are never coming back for you, darling
No thing definеs a man like love that makes him soft
If I was empty space and you were a formless shape, we'd fit
Love leaves little runway and every time we run straight over it
Growing Sideways
I took my medication and I poured my trauma out on some sad-eyed middle aged man's overpriced new leather couch
I said "I'm cured"
I divvied up my anger into thirty separate parts
Keep the bad shit in my liver, and the rest around my heart
I'm still angry at my parents, for what their parents did to them
It's a start
I ignore things, and I move sideways 'til I forget what I felt in the first place
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive
Everyone's growing and everyone's healthy
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
If my engine works perfect on empty I guess I'll drive
So I forgot my medication
Now I'm suffering in style
Why is pain so damn impatient?
And if all my life was wasted I don't mind, I'll watch it go
It's better to die numb than feel it all
Halloween
I'm sailin' away to a place I'm afraid of
The dawn isn't here, the sun hasn't rose
I'm drinkin' my days with the coastal longshoreman
They got money to make and children back home
The last that I heard, you were down in New Orleans
I drink 'til I drown and I smoke 'til I'm burnin'
Your hands are all over my scent
I worry for you
You worry for me
It's fine if we know we won't change
Collect every dream in these old empty pockets in hope that I'll need them some day
The wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
The bridges have long since been burnt
I'm leavin' this town and I'm changin' my address
I know that you'll come if you want
It's not Halloween, but the ghost you're dressed up as sure knows how to haunt
I know that you fear that I'm wicked and weary
I know that you fearin' the end
I only tell the truth when I'm sure that I'm lyin'
I'm settin' sail once again
Homesick
Two months since you got back
How have you been and are you bored yet?
The weather ain't been bad if you're into masochistic bullshit
Every photograph that's taken here is from the summer
This place is such great motivation for anyone tryna move the fuck away
Well, I'm tired of dirt roads named after high school friends' grandfathers
Timе moves so damn slow I swear I feel my organs failing
I stopped caring 'bout a month ago sincе then it's been smooth sailing
I would leave if only I could find a reason
I got dreams, but I can't make myself believe them
Spend the rest of my life with what could have been
I will die in the house that I grew up in
I'm homesick
Still
I don't want to say goodbye
It only falls into place when you're falling to pieces
You find love that lasts a while 'til you lose the reasons
You miss something that you can't place but you can't deny it
Don't know whether you want a place in the coast or the country
You can't stay here
It's hard to face and it feels too ugly
You light a fire inside yourself, let it burn
It's like I'm still here with you
And I used to watch my mother move like God was in the room
Grab a past box of photos, I rip myself open
I'm wondering if I'm callous but hoping, can I fix what is broken?
The View Between Villages
I'm splitting the road down the middle
For a minute the world seemed so simple
Feel the rush of my blood
I'm seventeen again
I am not scared of death
I've got dreams again
It's just me and the curve of the valley
There is meaning on Earth
I am happy
A minute from home, but I feel so far from it
It's all washin' over me, I'm angry again
The things that I lost here, the people I knew
They got me surrounded for a mile or two
The cars in reverse, I'm grippin' the wheel
I'm back between villages and everything's still
