5 Light Years Lyrics by Mae

Multisensory Aesthetic Experience

2018

[Verse 1]
It was better to start with something
Together we play
But then we both left off with something
The right way
The wrong way, the right way
Yeah!

[Verse 2]
And when the sunset's lost its wonder
Together, we've paid
With broken hearts and eyes of thunder
But no rain
The wrong pain, yeah
True wasted love sustained in doubt
Pretend we turn the key

[Chorus]
I'm five light years from you calling my name

[Verse 3]
Table games have come with a price
Where it takes us, God and the dealer wise
It makes love fools of us
But oh shame, you are the wrong game (yeah)
True tastes of love, but laced with doubt
So elementary

[Chorus]
I'm five light years from you calling my name
Goodbye my love, if I don't see you again
I'm five light years from you calling my name

[Intermission]
Zero G, and I feel fine. Capsule is turning around
Roger Roll ... Atlantis
Houston now controlling the flight of Atlantis
Space shuttle spread its wings one final time for the start of sentimental journey into history
Zero G, and I feel fine. Capsule is turning around

[Bridge]
All spades, three cards
Free-ways, four hearts
And all we played was war
Yet it came along, the wrong way
Yes it was the long way
If grace and love sustain throughout
We tend to hold those keys

[Chorus]
Goodbye my love, if I don't see you again
I'm five light years from you calling my name, yeah
Goodbye my love, if I don't see you again
Goodbye my love, if I don't see you again
I'm five light years from you calling my name
Oh-Whoa-Oh
