Ten-Thousand Light-Years

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

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

Ten-thousand 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

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

It's a lonely night in hell aboard this broken privateer
I would brave a hundred-thousand more to taste her atmosphere

Ten-thousand 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

(Ten-thousand 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
