Light Years Away
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm picking up the pieces
Left on the ground
And some days
Are very long
I don't know where I'm meant to belong
And don't you erase
What we used to be
Yesterday is far away
I'm lost in space
But the fire's burning
The fire's burning
Oh, I feel this love
And I'm giving up
'Cause nothing left for me to say
I'm reaching up
'Cause we're burning now
A million light years away
It's pulling me like gravity
It's telling me it aren't over
Light years away
Light years away, away, away
Satellites are crashing down
I watch you disappear at the speed of sound
Much feelings out of control
And where my heart lays
Now a black hole
Miles and miles away
Closing my eyes
Just to see you again
Memories are not enough
To leave me with
And my fire's burning
The fire's burning
Oh, I feel this love
And I'm giving up
'Cause nothing left for me to say
I'm reaching up
'Cause we're burning now
A million light years away
It's pulling me like gravity
It's telling me you aren't over
Light years away
Light years away, away, away
A million light years away
A million light years away
Light years away
Light years away
Light years away
Light years away, away, away

I feel the sky falling down
I sense everything around me crashing apart
I'm picking up the pieces
I'm trying to put back everything together
Left on the ground
The shattered remains of my life around me
And some days
Occasionally
Are very long
They seem never-ending
I don't know where I'm meant to belong
I feel lost and unsure of my place in the world
Don't you hide from me
Don't try to avoid me
And don't you erase
Don't forget about
What we used to be
The relationship we had before
Yesterday is far away
The past is behind us
I'm lost in space
I feel directionless and alone
But the fire's burning
Despite everything, my passion is still strong
The fire's burning
My love is still alive
Oh, I feel this love
I'm still in love despite the hardships
And I'm giving up
I'm letting go of my doubts
'Cause nothing left for me to say
I've said everything I need to say
I'm reaching up
I'm striving towards something better
'Cause we're burning now
Because this love is intense
A million light years away
Despite the distance, our love remains
It's pulling me like gravity
This love is so strong that it feels like gravity
It's telling me it aren't over
The love isn't over despite everything
Light years away
Despite the distance, our love remains
Satellites are crashing down
The world around me is falling apart
I watch you disappear at the speed of sound
I see you leaving me quickly
Much feelings out of control
My emotions are overwhelming
And where my heart lays
I'm not sure where my heart belongs
Now a black hole
My heart feels empty
Miles and miles away
So far apart
Closing my eyes
I'm trying to imagine
Just to see you again
Seeing you once more
Memories are not enough
My memories aren't sufficient
To leave me with
To make me happy
A million light years away
Despite the distance, our love remains
A million light years away
So far apart yet so close
Light years away
Despite the distance, our love remains
Light years away
So far apart yet so close
Light years away
Despite the distance, our love remains
Light years away, away, away
Despite the distance, our love remains
