Light year Lyrics by Grady Mathison

2022

[Verse]
Where the hell am I
Where the hell did you go
I’m stuck in the atmosphere
You’re pulling me back to home

Burning through my mind
Comets pass by my eyes
Don’t tell me you love me now
I’ve already left the— ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Spotlight, causation
Small eyes, saturation
Common sense meets the pavement
Fallin back till we’re strangers
Spotlight, destination

[Chorus]
I wish I said something to you
Before i left earth
Now you’re a light year away
I think of you when the silence hurts
Oh I’d love to drift astray

[Pre-Chorus]
Spotlight, causation
Small eyes, saturation
Common sense meets the pavement
Fallin back till we’re strangers
Spotlight, destination

[Chorus]
I wish I said something to you
Before i left earth
Now you’re a light year away
I think of you when the silence hurts
Oh I’d love to drift astray

I wish I said something to you
Before I left earth
Now you’re a light year away
I think of you when the silence hurts
Oh I’d love to drift astray

[Outro]
Take my car, take my money
The love won’t change
Distance, got me feeling strange
I’m a kid in the art

Take my heart, take my power
The grass still stains
Roots run deep when i hear your name
Somebody take me back home
