Green Day
"Paper Lanterns / 2000 Light Years Away"

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 gonna 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 gonna end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you

So when are all my troubles gonna end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you

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 malakite 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 malakite so tight so
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away
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 malakite so tight oh
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Years away!
