"Light Years" Lyrics

This is the day that I
figure out the rest of my life -
who do I want to be?
Will I ever get to be somebody

apart from you? A part of you
always gets carried around.
So get all dressed down and go hit the town.
Funny how it always works out.

You're not the only one who is lonely.
Everyone knows we have different speeds
with light years between,
and yet it goes on and on.

So we joke around again.
Could we ever really be friends?
I'd always say "I want you"
and secretly mean it.

We could talk about it, but I doubt it
would make any difference now.
It would take forever for us to stay together.
Funny how it never works out.

So let me go.
Don't let it go
on and on.

It's hard to know if this is for the best,
but I guess we'll find out in time.

All you've ever wanted lies ahead.
