Lights on Long Island

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
