Paint me like the northern lights
So ablaze, so bright
Chase away my burning plights
Just wait, and hold me tight

I haven't seen the burning sky
I haven't had you by my side
Left alone to survive
Running barefoot for your sight

Catch me before I fly
I have no wings for the flight
Deluded by the shimmering lines
I ran and ran for the high

I have had enough of the northern lights
Yet I want you to paint me like
For you love those glittering lights
And I am just an inky night

Paint my black canvas right
For it's so ugly for the eyes
Stopping them? I did try
And I was left , left to cry

So paint me like the northern lights
So ablaze, so bright
For now I have you, right?
And you will hold me tight
