Northern Light
I-One Lyrics

And I drive
I continue moving forward in life

Eighty-five
At a fast pace, not wasting any time

It's strange that you see so much in me
Surprising that you find value in me

Particularly when I feel so empty
Especially when I feel devoid of purpose or fulfillment

But that's not the way this is supposed to be
However, this is not how things are meant to be

It's uneven now
The balance is disrupted

What good does it do if you think I'm complete?
How does it benefit if you believe I am whole?

When I'm just a shell of an earthly being
As I am merely an empty vessel

I'm shallow and fleeting, and never quite seeing
I am superficial and transient, never truly perceiving

It clearly
The situation is evident

There's nothing I can do about
I have no control over

How far away you are right now
The distance between us at this moment

I just wish that I could see
I simply desire to witness

The Northern Lights
The captivating natural phenomenon

And if you don't come back I think I'd understand
In the event of your absence, I believe I would comprehend

I've heard there's no place like Alaskan land
I've been told how unique and special Alaska is

And I'd move out west and I'd start once again from nothin'
I would relocate towards the western region and begin anew, with nothing

I could pour drinks again
I could work as a bartender once more

There's a bar I could tend
There is a specific bar where I could work

Sleep in my truck 'til I got an apartment
Sleep in my truck until I secure a place to live

But that's not the way this is supposed to end
However, this is not how the story is meant to conclude

I can feel it
I can sense it deeply

All I want is to live a normal life
My only desire is to have an ordinary existence

But I get caught up
Yet, I become entangled

In these dreams I'm havin'
In these visions that occur during sleep

Every other night
Almost every alternate night

Where I see her face
Where I witness her visage

And I pack my things
And I gather my belongings

And I head out at first light
And I begin my journey at daybreak

There's nothing I can do about
There is no action I can take to change

How far away you are
The distance that separates us

I just wish that I could see
I simply long to witness

The Northern Lights
The awe-inspiring Northern Lights

And I leave everything behind
And I abandon all that is familiar
