Lightyears

Lightyears  (or Light-years) is a song by the Eraserheads from their fourth studio album Fruitcake. It was written by vocalist Ely Buendia and unlike many of the songs from the Fruitcake album, Lightyears is not a Christmas song.

Lyrics
Big deeper north of nowhere Outside the room inside my mind I look forward to tomorrow But can I leave yesterday behind How it feels so strange To have grown and change Now, it's not the same 'Cause time Slip and slide into another place and try As we might to understand each other Doesn't really matter where you are It always seems so very far It's like you're lightyears away You're lightyears away from me Little deeper south of somewhere It looks much closer than it really is I held it in my hands But you're forever out of reach Far as the eye can see Nothing is meant to be Doesn't mean much to me But, oh If I only had a rocket ship to fly I'd be right there in a minute But it doesn't really matter where you are However near is still so far It's like you're lightyears away You're lightyears away from me Far as the eye can see Nothing is meant to be Doesn't mean much to me 'Cause time Slip and slide into another place and try As we might to understand each other Doesn't really matter where you are It always seems so very far It's like you're lightyears away You're lightyears away from me Look forward to tomorrow But can I leave yesterday behind
