Lyrics

I fell in love with the feeling.

I didn't fall in love with you. There was a song I was singing

But it wasn't meant for you

>

And I'm sorry I'm sorry

That I can't stay I'm sorry

We're light years away

>

I bite your lip

And you taste like summer time I can’t forget

The days when you were mine

>

Do you wander the streets every night Just to find me too?

>

Lightyears

Echos In the streetlights In between those Spaces in the moment Come and find me Where we let go Come and find me

Where we let go

>

I fell in love with a feeling

And your funny faces That you were beautiful and broken

In all the right places

>

I'm sorry I'm sorry

That I can't stay I'm sorry

We're light years away

>

Millions behind or lightyears ahead

Our time is now- our time was then

And I hear your voice inside of my head but - It’s just a silhouette

>

Do you wonder what happened To all of the love we lose?

>

Lightyears

Echos In the streetlights In between those Spaces in the moment Come and find me Where we let go Come and find me

Where we let go

>

Lightyears

Do you want your tears back? Lightyears They’re gone

I’m sorry
