Sixpence None The Richer - Northern Lights Name Lyrics

it burns me down when I think of all the tears you've cried 
for one million miles I've I logged on roads that led away from you 
knowing there was nothing you could do 
inside my mind I saw you driving inside your car 
just one silhouette in the wind with a prayer that this would not go to far 
away from my residual flame 
our bodies growing cold like stars 
that lose their will to burn and fade into the night 
but we could burn like the northern lights 

Chorus 
baby – please stay 
we can make it through another day 

it may – must we? 
all the fiber optic arguments 
without the warmth of your flesh we couldn't really make much sense 
but now it's over and I am here my body next to yours 
we'll feed the flame with the fuel of time and burn like the northern lights 
I'm tired of all the senseless fights 

Chorus 
baby – please stay 
we can make it through another day 
baby – please stay 
we can make it through another day 
we could burn like the northern lights – 
baby 

you love me and I love you 
so, baby – please stay 
we can make it through another day 
baby – please stay 
we can make it through another day 
baby – please stay 
we can make it through another day 
baby – please stay 
we can make it through another day 
we could burn like the northern lights – 
baby
