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
