Light Years

You were waiting outside for me in the sun Laying down to soak it all in before we had to run I was always ten feet behind you from the start Didn't know you were gone 'til we were in the car Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me 'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you And I would always be light years, light years away from you Light years, light years away from you I thought I saw your mother last weekend, in the park It could've been anybody, it was after dark Everyone was lighting up in the shadows alone You could've been right there next to me, and I'd have never known Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me 'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you And I would always be light years, light years away from you Light years, light years away from you Light years, light years away from you Light years, light years away from you
