[Intro – Short guitar pickup, intimate spoken male voice] "Hey, come outside!" "Look at the sky!" [Verse 1 – Warm, raspy male vocal, close mic] Just after ten, my phone lit up "Come outside, you've gotta look!" I grabbed my coat and crossed the yard Saw red above the neighbor's car Then green spread slowly through the night The porch lights suddenly seemed too bright I'd seen it on my phone before But never standing at my door [Pre-Chorus – Drums build, guitars open up] I always thought I'd have to go Way up north to see that glow Tonight it's over our own street And no one's going back to sleep [Chorus – Big, catchy, full-band sing-along] Look up! Look up! Look at the sky! Green and red are sweeping by! No plane to catch, no place to go Northern lights above our home! [Verse 2 – Driving drums, natural delivery] The neighbors came out one by one With coats half-zipped and slippers on Some held their phones up to the sky Some just stood there, side by side A little girl said, "Will they stay?" Her dad said, "I can't really say" We stood there till our hands were cold And watched the green turn into gold [Pre-Chorus – Rising backing harmonies] We didn't plan a thing tonight Just coats, cold feet, and northern lights No distant land, no frozen sea The whole street's out here next to me [Chorus – Strong lead vocal, group responses] Look up! Look up! Look at the sky! Green and red are sweeping by! No plane to catch, no place to go Northern lights above our home! [Instrumental Break – Short melodic electric guitar solo] [Bridge – Intimate close mic, soft piano] Tomorrow, same old roofs and trees Same parked cars along our street But next time that the phone lights up You know I'll be the first one out! [Final Chorus – Full band, layered harmonies, uplifting energy] Look up! Look up! Look at the sky! Green and red are sweeping by! No plane to catch, no place to go Northern lights above our home! [Repeat Chorus – Stronger group vocals, soaring melodic guitars] Look up! Look up! Look at the sky! Green and red are sweeping by! No plane to catch, no place to go Northern lights above our home! [Outro – Instruments soften, warm solo voice] Never thought we'd see them here Northern lights above our home.
