It burns me down
When I think of all the tears you've cried
For one million miles
I logged on roads that led away from you
Knowing there was nothing you could do

Inside my mind
I saw you driving in your car
Just one silhouette in the wind
With a prayer that this would not go too 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

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

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
