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
lookout as far as i can
i can't see her, but in the distance
i hear some laughter, we laugh together
