    Lyrics
    I sit alone in my bedroom
    Staring at the walls
    I've been up all damn night long
    My pulse is speeding
    My love is yearning

    I hold my breath and close my eyes
    And dream about her
    Cause she's 2000 light years away
    She holds my malakite so tight so..
    Never let go
    Cause she's 2000 Light years away

    I sit outside and watch the sunrise
    Look out as far as I can
    I can't see her, but in the distance
    I hear some laughter
    We laugh together

    Then I hold my breath and close my eyes
    And dream about her
    Cause she's 2000 light years away.
