heartbeats

all the other girls here are stars - you are the Northern Lights
they try to shine in through your curtains - you're too close and too bright
they try and they try but everything that they do
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you

and I'll have you back by break of day, I'm going your way anyway
and if you'd like to come along I'll be yours for a song
I know you are waiting, and I know that it is not for me,
but I'm here and I'm ready and I've saved you the passenger seat
I won't be your last dance just your last goodnight
every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
