Chapter five · Lyrics
Northbound. · Track 09
Northern Lights
A night drive where distance, memory and the sky turn the journey inward.
Sometimes all you’re looking for is waiting deep inside.
Lyrics
Verse 1
A fading line of headlights Melting into rain The radio keeps whispering Someone else’s pain The miles don’t ask for answers They only lead the way Every turn behind me Looks smaller every day
Pre-Chorus
Leave the words unspoken Leave the past out there Some things find their meaning Floating in the air
Chorus
Under northern lights I can see again Not where I’ve been going Just where I have been Under northern lights Everything feels new Funny how the longest road Brings me back to you
Verse 2
An old sign at the crossroads Barely hanging on Still pointing somewhere westward Though half the paint is gone A coffee on the dashboard The first light in the sky Nothing feels forgotten Nothing asks me why
Pre-Chorus
Every quiet moment Every slowing mile Turns another memory Into something light
Chorus
Under northern lights I can see again Not where I’ve been going Just where I have been Under northern lights Everything feels new Funny how the longest road Brings me back to you
Bridge
Maybe every journey Starts before we know Maybe every ending Is another road If tomorrow finds me Further down the line I’ll still carry pieces Of every place and time
Final Chorus
Under northern lights I can see again Every mile behind me Makes me who I am Under northern lights The sky is open wide Sometimes all you’re looking for Is waiting deep inside Under northern lights…
