Chasing dreams sometimes means
Leaving love behind
I've been left and done the leaving
Too often for my mind
Some of us just aren't built to be the
Solitary kind
They're the ones so often lost
To the needle and the line
I thought I saw the Northern Lights
From the corner of my eye
But when I turned all that was there
Were the ghosts i'd left behind
So I pray to god knows where
That they're happy lighting up the sky
The ghosts of the Northern Lights
The ghosts of the Northern Lights
We choose our means of fighting off
The demons in our heads
But so many times the medicine
It becomes the darker dread
It stills our inner critic
For a time it is said
But we know that too much
Will still our hearts instead
I thought I saw the Northern Lights
From the corner of my eye
But when I turned all that was there
Were the ghosts i'd left behind
So I pray to god knows where
That they're happy lighting up the sky
The ghosts of the Northern Lights
The ghosts of the Northern Lights
Chasing dreams sometimes means
Leaving love behind
I've been left and done the leaving
Too often for my mind
I thought I saw the Northern Lights
From the corner of my eye
But when I turned all that was there
Were the ghosts i'd left behind
So I pray to god knows where
That they're happy lighting up the sky
The ghosts of the Northern Lights
The ghosts of the Northern Lights
The ghosts of the Northern Lights
The ghosts of the Northern Lights
