“Too Many Light Years (From You to Here)” is a cosmic torch song inspired by Walker Percy’s book Lost In The Cosmos.
I can't lose my mind
If I give it away
So why don't you take it
Too many thoughts of you
Just make it ...
Yours, anyway
I'm lost in the cosmos
Looking for re-entry
Trying to escape myself
Though I love my gravity
My own humanded (?) gravity
Makes me long for a world
Somewhere else
Lost in the cosmos
Tired of the future
For everything moves so fast
So much hard traveling
We'd spend unraveling
Where you and I would
Never got to make our past
Lost in the cosmos
You can find me
Behind a lonely moon
Where This alien nation
Gives no indication
That our stars will cross
Anytime soon
I'm lost in the cosmos
Looking for re-entry
To find a better-loved atmosphere
Sitting those in distress
Same familiar mess
Just too many light-years
From you to here
Lost in the cosmos
Looking for re-entry
Trying to escape myself
Though I love my gravity
You mad at gravity
Makes me long for a world
Somewhere else
