Sixpence None The Richer - Northern Lights lyrics

It burns me down When I think of all the tears you've cried For one million miles I logged on roads that led away from you Knowing there was nothing you could do Inside my mind I saw you driving in your car Just one silhouette in the wind With a prayer that this would not go too far Away from my residual flame Our bodies growing cold Like stars that lose their will to burn And fade into the night But we could burn like the northern lights Baby, please stay We can make it through another day It may, must we? All the fiber optic arguments Without the warmth of your flesh We couldn't really make much sense But now it's over and I am here My body next to yours We'll feed the flame with the fuel of time And burn like the northern lights I'm tired of all the senseless fights Baby, please stay We can make it through another day Baby, please stay We can make it through another day We could burn like the northern lights, baby You love me and I love you So, baby, please stay We can make it through another day Baby, please stay We can make it through another day Baby, please stay We can make it through another day Baby, please stay We can make it through another day We could burn like the northern lights, baby
