2000 Light Years Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I sit alone in my bedroom
Starin' at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speedin', my love is yearnin'
[Chorus]
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
She holds my malachite so tight, so
Never let go
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
Years away!
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
She holds my malachite so tight, so
Never let go
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
Years away!
[Verse 1]
I sit alone in my bedroom
Starin' at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speedin', my love is yearnin'
[Chorus]
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
She holds my malachite so tight, oh
Never let go
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
Years away!

In an interview with Pandora Billie Joe said
We booked a mini-tour and we had to drive all the way out for, I think it was for like 36 hours to South Dakota. Everyone was wondering why we were playing five shows in the middle of nowhere but it was basically to meet a girl I met up with her in South...
Why is this song important for Billie Joe?
He told Rolling Stone
The first tour that Green Day ever went on, I met my wife, Adrienne, at a house party in Minneapolis. She asked for an address because we had run out of our vinyl. Then we started corresponding and kind of became pen pals, and having these long talks, running up phone bills.
