Burdened by the longing for an absent lover, Shawn is vague in revealing how temporary or permanent, figurative or literal the distance is, and even compares it to that between galaxies. Either way, she sets her thoughts on them and later attempts to recount fond memories, but they escape her. A cla...
[Verse 1]
It's not the same when you're away from me
Counting the days until I taste your ecstasy
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know you the wait's long
[Verse 2]
Moments alone I'd rather face with you
Alone in the dark filling the space with you
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know, you know the wait's long
[Chorus]
It's so cold up in my room right here without you
So I'm up late in my room thinking about you
'Cause you're galaxies away from me
I don't really want to be
Galaxies away from who I love
[Verse 3]
Counting the days, the numbers are growing tall
A glimpse of your face, it's not enough anymore
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know, you know the wait's long
[Verse 4]
Working my mind over and over again
Trying to find memories of your touch on my skin
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know, you know the wait's long
[Chorus]
It's so cold up in my room right here without you
So I'm up late in my room thinking about you
'Cause you're galaxies away from me
I don't really want to be
Galaxies away from who I love
[Bridge]
I've been wishing, I've been waiting
I've been talking to the moon all about you
I miss the feeling of your love
Just one sip won't be enough
I want to drown in you
[Chorus]
It's so cold up in my room right here without you
So I'm up late in my room thinking about you
'Cause you're galaxies away from me
I don't really want to be
Galaxies away from who I love
