Lyrics

Alaska, you're comin' up quickly
Alaska, you're bigger than I thought, you'd ever be

The air's so clear, you can see forever here
The air's so clear and peaceful

Alaska, breath of your air, is cold and clean
Will I start a new life, or revive the last, disaster of me

I want a life, not just a living
I want a love and a family
I want so much
I know to little of life
I want so much to be

Happy, a lover, no longer undercover
Anything that's meaningful, a reinvented parable
Happy, tell stories and laugh when they get boring
I'll find this in advancing hills, anticipation nearly kills

I'm headed to Alaska, I'm headed to Alaska
