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
