[Verse 1]
You lay your head
Gently on my shoulder
We made big plans
They changed as we got older

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know now what I didn't before
Sometimes, it's good to let a good thing go

[Chorus]
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 and 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

[Verse 2]
It hurts like hell
Admittin' I still miss you
Your heart in my hand
Somehow, I let it slip through, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know now what I didn't before
Sometimes, it's good to let a good thing go

[Chorus]
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 and what went right?
Fades away as years go by
We may not have a whole lifetime
But at least we had the Northern Lights

[Post-Chorus]
The Northern Lights

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
But 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
[Post-Chorus]
The Northern Lights
