I hope the trip was worth the wait We saw the northern lights today It's been a long time coming And I thought I would've known what to say A fleeting moment in the sky Pales in comparison to your eyes They shine the brightest blue I've ever seen And guide me to a better peace of mind I can't believe that you came back I saw your distant light across the ocean again I thought it was a sign that I was close to the end Fading fireworks lit your name across the night sky Out on the open ocean, I'll never let you go again I followed your footsteps through the dark The colors shape an amazing display But aurora's not as bright as your smile beneath the light of distant stars The faintest traces of jade left a painting Memorized that I kept Forget the nights that I spent Thinking that I could never believe in something Cynical 'til I'm dead I'm over critical in my head One look inside of your eyes and it's like 22 on Long Island I can see your light and it's shining again I saw your distant light across the ocean again I thought it was a sign that I was close to the end Fading fireworks lit your name across the night sky Out on the open ocean, I'll never let you go again I can't go back this time Like boats against the current Borne back into the past I still chase that green light I swear the color's different But I'll never let you go again ♪ But I'll never let you go again (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh) But I'll never let you go again
