[Spoken: Bryce Dessner]
Thank you so much everybody
And uh, thanks so much for being here a year later when we finally could come
[Verse 1]
You were waiting outside for me in the sun
Laying down to soak it all in before we had to run
I was always ten feet behind you from the start
Didn't know you were gone 'til we were in the car
[Chorus]
Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me
'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you
And I would always be light years, light years away from you
Light years, light years away from you
[Verse 2]
I thought I saw your mother last weekend in the park
It could've been anybody, it was after dark
You were always lighting up in the shadows alone
You could've been right there next to me, and I'd have never known
[Chorus]
Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me
'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you
And I would always be light years, light years away from you
Light years, light years away from you
Light years, light years away from you
Light years, light years away from you
[Spoken: Matt Berninger]
That's Kyle Resnick on trumpet and Ben Lanz on trombone
They play tons of other stuff that I don't know what things are
Those are the only instrument I can pronounce
Trolombone
Anyway, Ben Lanz on the trolombone
