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
