Light Years

I just want my heart to beat So when will you make your way to see me What's your secret anyway 'Cause my light is fading on empty streets I light a torch to catch your eye Bright lights in time of darkness Incandescent, uncompared You could be two meters away from me But it seems light years sometimes, dear But even distant, I'm with you The sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty And the loudest bird songs fill us up again We love their noise Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells The sound of seas and gravel roads They cheer us back to earth I know you like my hometown And you're still cool within the fire Watching nothing become everything The distance from you feels so close Safe is where you are tonight But the sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty And the loudest bird songs fill us up again We love their noise Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells The sound of seas and gravel roads They cheer us back to earth The sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty And the loudest bird songs fill us up again We love their noise Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells The sound of seas and gravel roads They cheer us back to earth
