Light Years Lyrics

[Bridge]
You’re a thousand light years running’ through my brain
Reminding me that no one’s sane
Not all the time, yes

[Verse]
You’re a thousand light years running though my brain
Reminding me that no one’s sane
Not all the time
Yes, I still remember you in a way that you’d want me to
I man a man you know see who will do right for you
(Are you comin' down?)

[Outro]
Never let your regret make you wish we had not met
I cannot think that way, yeah
I drove you crazy, I see that plainly
You waited on pins for me, but
Needles never ever love, what did you think of?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
