Green Day
Paper Lanterns/2,000 Light Years Away (Live At Alpharetta,Georgia)
[Paper Lanterns]
Now I rest my head from
Such an endless dreary time
A time of hopes and happiness
That had you on my mind
Those days are gone and now it seems
As if I'll get some rest
But now and then I'll see you again
And it puts my heart to the test
So when are all my troubles going to end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you
As the days go on I wonder
"Will this ever end?"
I find it hard to keep control
When you're with your boyfriend
I do not mind if all I am
Is just a friend to you
But all I want to know right now
Is if you think about me too...?
So when are all my troubles going to end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you
[2,000 Light Years Away]
I sit alone in my bedroom
Staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding
My love is yearning
I hold my breath and close my eyes and...
Dream about her
Cause she's 2000 light years away
She holds my malachite so tight so...
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Years Away!
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Lookout as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter
We laugh together
I hold my breath and close my eyes and...
Dream about her
Cause she's 2000 light years away
She holds my malachite so tight so...
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Years Away!
