Northern Lights

Northern Lights Song Text

[Verse 1]
You showed me meditation
Said it'd change me
I thought I needed to
'Cause your mum said I had growing up to do
In April I walked your way
I left my friends behind
'Cause I didn't think you liked them
And it was cute that kids love you

[Chorus]
Bye bye and by next July
My therapist will say I'm fine
I'll go see the Northern Lights
If I combine the flights it's cheaper that way
I'll walk around New York rain
No one will ever break me down again
[Verse 2]
On show days it showed me quaking
I fumbled words I lost my place
And I was waiting for someone to see straight through
In every conversation
I said I missed my friends
What a normal thing
You said I'd learn to be alone like you

[Chorus]
Bye bye and by next July
My therapist will say I'm fine
I'll go see the Northern Lights
If I combine the flights it's cheaper that way
I'll walk around New York rain
No one will ever break me down again

[Bridge]
Then I was standing with glue and tape
I was panicking
My colour had been changed
A thousand drops of paint
You dripped and you didn't know you did
You didn't know
You've been calling my mum
What did you say?
I think you needed control to ease your brain
I didn't get it till I walked away
Because you made me breakfast, you cheered my name
So I kept thinking of polar sunshine
To keep my wonder
But something was wrong
A battle had come and all the horses
And all my friends were gone
I wiggled my way I put back the pieces
My friends I'm sorry for the moments I missed
I've painted over the glue and the tape
And tomorrow your name won't haunt me like this
[Outro]
Bye bye and by next July
My therapist will say I'm fine
I'll go to see the Northern Lights
