[Verse 1]
Three rum and cokes and a couple beers in
Some lucky drunk stood up, heavy with where he'd been
And he held onto someone, and he sung out, compelled
"You're why I was right to trust myself"

[Chorus 1]
He said
Keep me up, keep me out late
Keep me close, I need your faith
Keep right where you are
Cause I followed this far
Like I'm sure that you're the Northern Star
I'm sure you're the Northern Star

[Verse 2]
Three hours into a three-minute call
Some gambler wondered if she'd just won it all
And she laughed when he asked if his head seemed alright
Singing, "I've seen the bright sides my whole lovely life"

[Chorus 2]
She said
Talk me up and talk me down
Talk too long, I'll stick around
Talk me into following you somewhere far
Like I'm sure you're the Northern Star
I'm sure you're the Northern Star
La la la

[Verse 3]
Three weeks away from a year since the score
And the reckless thieves reckoned they could get even more
They ain't casing out weddings, nah those are too big a sight
They're just looking at dresses and rings that she likes

[Chorus 3]
They said
Keep me up, keep me out late
Keep me close, I need your faith
Keep right where you are
Cause I followed this far
Like I'm sure that you're the Northern Star
Oh, I'm sure you're the Northern Star
I'm sure
And I'm sure that you're the Northern Star
