Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In the northern lights
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, 
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, 
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In the northern lights
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Do you know what time it is
I watch TV alone
Do you have a place for me
And now you say that your life's your own
It's not hard to send the message
But you don't wanna raise my hopes
What do you think I do all night
Sit here catching up on soaps

(In the northern lights)
When we didn't fight
(In the northern lights)
Where we danced all night
(In the northern lights)
We could really feel
That all our little dreams were real (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(In the northern lights)
Where our love was true
(In the northern lights)
When I still loved you
(In the northern lights)
The gray of the northern skies
Always shining blue

When did you start loving me
I'm guessing not that recently
Why can't you look at me
And show a little understanding
I sit here looking at a photograph
When we were young and we still laughed
And every day was endless fights
The blood pool under northern lights

(In the northern lights)
But when we didn't fight
(In the northern lights)
But where we danced all night
(In the northern lights)
We could really feel
That all our little dreams were real (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(In the northern lights)
Where our love was true
(In the northern lights)
When I still loved you
(In the northern lights)
The gray of the northern skies
Always shining blue

I can still go dancing all alone
Until I meet somebody new
With northern lights shining in my eyes
I'll get over you

(In the northern lights)
When we didn't fight
(In the northern lights)
Where we danced all night
(In the northern lights)
We could really feel
That all our little dreams were real (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(In the northern lights)
Where our love was true
(In the northern lights)
When I still loved you
(In the northern lights)
The gray of the northern skies
Always shining blue

The winter dancing every night
At the tortured twisted wheel
With northern lights shining in our eyes
Everything made us feel alright

(In the northern lights)
When we didn't fight
(In the northern lights)
Where we danced all night
(In the northern lights)
We could really feel
That all our little dreams were real (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(In the northern lights)
Where our love was true
(In the northern lights)
When I still loved you
(In the northern lights)
The gray of the northern skies
Always shining blue

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In the northern lights
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In the northern lights
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In the northern lights
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In the northern lights
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
In the northern lights
In the northern lights
In the northern lights
The northern skies
Always shining blue
