"Northern Lights" lyrics

You lay your head gently on my shoulder
We made big plans, they changed as we got older

Oh, I know now what I didn't before
Sometimes it's good to let a good thing go

But in my head, you're still mine
And I go back every night
I see your face in summer skies
I count the stars inside your eyes
Oh, what went wrong, what went right
It fades away as years go by
We may not have a whole lifetime
But at least we had the northern lights

It hurts like hell admitting I still miss you
Your heart, my hand, somehow I let it slip through, oh

But I know now what I didn't before
Sometimes it's good to let a good thing go

But in my head, you're still mine
And I go back every night
I see your face in summer skies
I count the stars inside your eyes
Oh, what went wrong, what went right
Fades away as years go by
We may not have a whole lifetime
But at least we had the northern lights
The northern lights

We lit a fire as the night got colder
What a view, with your head on my shoulder
Still the one that I can't get over

In my head, you're still mine
I go back every night
See your face in summer skies
I count the stars inside your eyes
Baby, what went wrong, what went right
Fades away as years go by
We may not have a whole lifetime
But at least we had the northern lights
The northern lights
