[Verse]
She said, "Boy, the distance is killing me
What I wouldn't give to have you next to me
Oh, it gets awfully cold
Without someone to hold
But I'm not letting go"
[Chorus]
Yes, I'm two thousand and one light years away
(Light years away, light years away)
Yes, I'm two thousand and one light years away
(Light years away, light years away)
When I look out into space
I can almost see your face
Oh, from two thousand and one light years away
(Light years away, light years away)
[Outro]
You know I'm just a click away

if green day thought 2000 light years away was so good why didn't they make a 2001 light years away— barely march band (@barelymarch) April 10, 2020
