Northern Lights

Lyrics

[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
