The Light Years

[Verse 1]
I need a summer, the sun inside my eyes before September’s here
The good things start to die
I need the seasons of the year
Changing right before me in your backyard
So give me a flame, something a lot of fire
Behind my knee, I wanna hope inside my brain
Something big enough to fit the world in

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be walking backward
I just wanna wake up inside
The light years are turning on
The light years are turning on

[Verse 2]
This is not distance, this is not scientific town
This not about the night stars in the northern sky
That hang above your head, that hang above your bed
This is a call to keep them simple
I know that’s hard to do, the days will only get us heavy
As we ask them too, we can break, we can bruise
We can laugh, we can lose it all

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be walking backward
I just wanna wake up inside
The light years are turning on
The light years are turning on
Oooh
I don’t wanna be walking backward
I just wanna wake up inside
The light years are turning on
The light years are turning on
The light years are turning on tonight
