Ten-Thousand Light-Years

[Verse 1]
Wish I had met that girl
Before I signed my life away off-world
When I didn't have a reason to be alive
Now she's so far from me
Stuck on Alpha Centauri
And I'm out here with a broken hyperdrive

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm a lost and lonely outlaw
Sailing on the starry sea
I would sell my sorry soul
To bring my baby back to me

[Chorus]
10,000 light years away
She's my guiding star after every hurricane
She's like the sun's shining rays
Even from so far, pulling on my heart
Her gravity remains

[Verse 2]
If I could turn back time
To when I could hold her hand in mine
I would find some excuse just not to leave
Five years since I've left port
And I'm running low on life support
Yeah, but that's not the reason I can't breathe

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's a lonely night in hell
Above this broken privateer
I would brave a hundred thousand more
To taste her atmosphere

[Chorus]
10,000 light years away
She's my guiding star after every hurricane
She's like the sun's shining rays
Even from so far, pulling on my heart
Her gravity remains
10,000 light years away
She's my guiding star after every hurricane
She's like the sun's shining rays
Even from so far, pulling on my heart
Her gravity remains
