Northern Lights

from At Home​/​Not Home Pt​.​2 by Defne

/

lyrics

True north strong and free
You mean everything to me
Toutes tes gloires
De la neige et les etoiles dans le soir

True north strong and free
Do this one thing for me
Keep my toes cold, my nose red
My heart broken
And my empty bed

Churning out the summer memories
To name a few
Nachos and lake water in my ears
Salty tears and sweet beers
The warmth of the sun on my back
The warmth of the fire on my front
Quiet kisses in the bedroom

Snow at my ankles as I stare into the sky
Mais c'est quoi ca?
Green and yellow dancing on your face
Suddenly I realize my eyes were out of place
Nothing next to me at all
Suddenly I become so small
I am alone without a clue
I wanted so to share this moment with you

The northern lights are so rare
In this part of the world
I sit in the snow, my fingers in my lap curled
Pressing nervously into my palms
The northern lights are so rare
In this part of the world

Defne Toronto, Ontario

Defne is a bedroom pop musician from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Their fragile songs of heartache and longing hum with the energy of anticipation. The spaces between falling snowflakes. A sideways glance across a crowded venue. Grass stains on the ankles of your jeans as you run home at 2 in the morning past darkened windows and empty playgrounds. ... more
