"2000 Light Years Away"

I sit alone in my bedroom

Staring at the walls

I've been up all damn night long

My pulse is speeding, my love is yearning

I hold my breath and close my eyes

And dream about her

'Cause she's 2000 light years away

She holds my malachite so tight

So never let go

'Cause she's 2000 light years away

Years away

I sit outside and watch the sunrise

Look out as far as I can

I can't see her, but in the distance

I hear some laughter, we laugh together

I hold my breath and close my eyes

And dream about her

'Cause she's 2000 light years away

She holds my malachite so tight

So never let go

'Cause she's 2000 light years away

Years away

I sit alone in my bedroom

Staring at the walls

I've been up all damn night long

My pulse is speeding, my love is yearning

I hold my breath and close my eyes

And dream about her

'Cause she's 2000 light years away

She holds my malachite so tight

Oh, never let go

'Cause she's 2000 light years away

Years away
