I've been trying too hard
To reach the Northern Star
I've been waiting too long
Singing old songs
And waiting for the night to come around again
To show me where you are

I've been chasing old dreams
I've been losing sleep
Waiting for the phone to ring
A choir to sing
For a light to shine down on me
But every night, it's the same old thing

I lost that picture that you gave me
To put on my wall
When everything was better

'Cause you left for New York in the spring
I must have missed your calls
I haven't heard your voice since you hung up on me

And I know you know
I would come running after you
If you send a line through
If you cared enough to
Call out my name
Maybe we could make it okay

I've been trying too hard
I've been waiting too long
I've been chasing old dreams
Singing old songs
Waiting for a choir to come
And bring back the harmony

Do you still wear that silver ring
Do you still smile when you sing
Still bathe out in the sea
Still taste like grenadine
Do you still think about me

'Cause i know you know
I would come running after you
If you send a line through
If you cared enough to
Call out my name
Maybe we could make it okay
And life wouldn't be so strange

Please, don't burn out this flame
