Southern Lights Lyrics

the southern lights are on the run
we spent all night painting pictures that disappear when morning comes
the blizzard blows
the bottles drain
and though i beg you not to make me walk home in the pouring rain
don't let the morning catch me here
don't let the morning catch me here
i'm not the man that i appear

you find your heart
you lose control
you know everything lasts forever as long as you can let it go
you find your mind
you lose your faith
you know the sweeter the candy the bitter the aftertaste
so don't let the morning catch me here
don't let the morning catch me here
i'm not the man that i appear

so turn up the (??) radio
one last dance before i leave her
i'll be dragging my feet onto bed
so seal your lips and hush your laughter
this kid don't know just what he's after
don't believe a single thing he says
'cause i'm not the man that i appear
i'm not the man that i appear
