Northern Lights on my skin 2 (version 2)

Verse

Headlights cut through a wall of mist

Your hands find mine before it hits

Four in the morning and we're wide awake

The whole town sleeping, just the road at stake

Every streetlight is a dying ember

Rust on the fence posts, nothing's ever better

You're humming something I should know

A song that only you can hold and grow

Pre-Chorus

So are you ready for it?

Is this what we came here to find?

Can you feel the weight of something left behind?

The whole sky turning silver, one slow step at a time

Chorus

Northern lights on my skin

Burning up from the inside out again

Every sunset brings us closer to the truth

We're not lost in this place, we made it through

Verse

Pavement heating under bare feet

The only sound is the engine beat

Your eyes lock onto something far off

I don't know what you see but I'm following that cough

Old signs creaking on a forgotten road

A diner still open when nobody's home

You take my hand and we just walk along

Watching the sky turn into gold, turn to gold

Pre-Chorus

So are you ready for it?

Is this what we came here to find?

Can you feel the weight of something left behind?

The whole sky turning silver, one slow step at a time

Chorus

Northern lights on my skin

Burning up from the inside out again

Every sunset brings us closer to the truth

We're not lost in this place, we made it through

Bridge

Let go of what you thought would save us both

Hold onto the part that's still a glow

This is our own private sky

And we don't need a name for tonight

Chorus

Northern lights on my skin

Burning up from the inside out again

Every sunset brings us closer to the truth

We're not lost in this place, we made it through
