Jaymes Young Northern Lights song lyrics

She's tired of thinking 'til the sun comes up,

her body aches when she's awake.

It kills her mother when she drinks too much,

she can't stay sober for a day.

She's giving everything to numb the burns,

addicted to the losing fight.

She looks vacant but the wheels still turn,

she could be singing this tonight.

I want to touch the northern lights,

we could leave the world behind.

I wanna know what it's like,

to walk away from this life.

I have to cross entire oceans when,

I want a moment of her time.

She never wants to fall in love again,

and every kiss would be a crime.

Maybe she suffered for the thrill of it all,

but I know she's thinking when she falls.

I want to touch the northern lights,

we can leave the world behind.

I want to know what it's like,

to walk away from this life.

And maybe one day when I've suffered,

tired and twisted, I'll call her,

and we'll drive, into the sunset,

into the sunset.

I want to touch the northern lights,

we can leave the world behind.

I want to know what it's like,

to walk away from this life.
