Outside the room
Inside my mind
I, look forward to tomorrow
But can I leave yesterday behind
How it feels so strange
To have grown and change
Now it's not the same
Cause time slips and slides
Into another place and try
As we might to understand each other
Doesn't really matter where you are
It always seems so very far
Coz you're lightyears away
You're lightyears away
From me
Little deeper south of somewhere
It looks much closer than it really is
I held it in my hands
But you're forever out of reach
Far as the eye can see
Nothing is meant to be
Doesn't mean much to me
But oh, if I only had a rocket ship to fly
I'd be right there in a minute
But it doesn't really matter where you are
However near is still so far
It's like you're light years away
You're light years away from me
Big deeper north of nowhere Outside the room Inside my mind I, look forward to tomorrow But can I leave yesterday behind How it feels so strange To have grown and change Now it's not the same Cause time slips and slides Into another place and try As we might to understand each other Doesn't really matter where you are It always seems so very far Coz you're lightyears away You're lightyears away From me Little deeper south of somewhere It looks much closer than it really is I held it in my hands But you're forever out of reach Far as the eye can see Nothing is meant to be Doesn't mean much to me But oh, if I only had a rocket ship to fly I'd be right there in a minute But it doesn't really matter where you are However near is still so far It's like you're light years away You're light years away from me Explain Request ×
