I Thought I Lost You

You were young
And starry-eyed
Just a space cadet in training
Lost in time
You set your sights
To be a captain one day
But you abandoned post
When you started to break

You know It’s never too late to come back home
Sometimes it takes a thousand light years
To rediscover what you know
Cause you’ve been running on fumes
Burning youth
I thought I lost you
I thought I lost you

Cause you were young
And played the fool
Tearing up the book of rules
That you still follow too
You’re flying solo
In your broken tin can
Wishing you had solid ground
To grow and make your stand

You know It’s never too late to come back home
Sometimes it takes a thousand light years
To rediscover what you know
Cause you’ve been running on fumes
Burning youth
I thought I lost you
I thought I lost you

You search for consolation
Among a distant void
Of cries for help
Where you believe they’ll never hear you
Internalize, you’re only see through
But we share this constellation
Your my twin, my sign, my fading light
But I believe that what I’ve been through
Will always pull me right back to you
Cause I could give every shred of love
To someone else
But you’re with me till the end
And I’ll never have a closer friend

You are young
Scared and hurt
You’ve gotten used to pain
But you’ll heal at every turn
You stumble home
Standing at the door
The cadet has grown
And he’s a captain now

You know it’s never too late to come back home
Sometimes it takes a thousand light years
To rediscover what you know
Cause you’ve been running on fumes
Burning youth
So I thought I lost you
I thought I lost you
But now I’ve found you
Now I’ve found you
You were young
