[Verse 1]
You're different, I like it
You're from another planet
And I'd like you to take me there
You can fly your alien spaceship
You're different, don't hide it
That's what made me notice you
[Pre-Chorus]
There you were
Sitting by yourself
There you were
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
You are a white light
Stepping out of the dark
You are a white light

[Post-Chorus]
Do you wanna fly a million miles away and be all alone?

[Pre-Chorus]
And there you are
So self-contained
There you are
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]
Do you wanna fly a million miles away and be all alone?
'Cause I don't mind if we never go, never go home
Stepping out of the dark
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
You are a white light
Stepping out of the dark
You are a white light
But you cover it up
[Post-Chorus]
Do you wanna fly a million miles away and be all alone?
'Cause I don't mind if we never go, never go home
Stepping out of the dark
'Cause I don't mind if we never go, never go home
Don't mind if we never go, never go home
