Alex the Astronaut - Northern Lights lyrics
[Alex the Astronaut - Northern Lights lyrics]
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
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
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
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
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
Bye bye and by next July
My therapist will say I'm fine
I'll go to see the Northern Lights
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
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
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
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
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
