* let ring
… 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
