10,000 Light-Years Lyrics


Wish I had met that girl before I signed my life away off-world, When I didn’t have a reason to be alive

Now she’s so far from me, stuck on Alpha Centauri

And I’m out here with a broken hyperdrive

I’m a lost & lonely outlaw sailing on the starry sea

I would sell my sorry soul to bring my baby back to me

10,000 Light-Years away,

She’s my guiding star after every hurricane She’s like the sun’s shining rays,

Even from so far, pulling on my heart

Her gravity remains.

If I could turn back time to when I could hold her hand in mine,

I would find some excuse just not to leave

Five years since I’ve left port and I’m running low on life support, Yeah but, that’s not the reason I can’t breathe

It’s a lonely night in hell aboard this broken privateer

I would brave a hundred-thousand more to taste her atmosphere

10,000 Light-Years away,

She’s my guiding star after every hurricane She’s like the sun’s shining rays,

Even from so far, pulling on my heart

Her gravity remains.
