Seems like I'm so far
Burning cold like a star
I gotta find my sanity
I hit rock bottom
Thanks to gravity
Will it ever get better?
Am I stuck here forever?
Living under thunderstorms
Searching for a place called home
I've gotta go and I cannot wait — ay
I'm looking for a place called home
Don't know how but I'll find a way — ay
I'm looking for a place that's
Three thousand light years away
Feels like it's forever
Seems like yesterday
That we were blowing up stars together
This world just ain't the same
I miss the cosmic weather
I'll find a way
Three thousand light years away
[Change]
I'm ready for my destination (yeah)
In another generation (oh-oh)
In that life I'm not afraid to fly
And white diamonds sparkle up the sky
I gotta keep going No matter if the doors are closing
When I get there I'm-a sing a song
That'll sound like angels in the dawn
I gotta go and I cannot wait — ay
I'm looking for a place called home
Don't know how but I'll find a way — ay-ay
I'm looking for a place that's
Three thousand light years away
Feels like it's forever
Seems like yesterday
That we were blowing up stars together
This world just ain't the same
I miss the cosmic weather
I'll find a way
Three thousand light years away
I've gotta get home now I've gotta get home now
I've gotta get home now I've gotta get home
I'm running out of time down here
Does anybody hear my cry?
My energy is sending distress calls
Are we really all?
Gotta get three thousand light years away
Feels like it's forever
Seems like yesterday
That we were blowing up stars together
This world just ain't the same
I miss the cosmic weather
I'll find a way
Three thousand light years away
Three thousand light years away
Feels like it's forever
Seems like yesterday
That we were blowing up stars together
This world just ain't the same
I miss the cosmic weather
I'll find a way
Three thousand light years away
Seems like I'm so far
Burning cold like a star
I gotta find my sanity
I hit rock bottom thanks to gravity
Trivia
Prior to Dance Moms, a version performed by Mica Javier was used for Glee (video). Following exposure there and on Dance Moms, the song became a subject of copyright controversy with Emblem3's later release of "3000 Miles," with an unmistakably similar tune and lyrics. See this external forum discussion. See also here and here for what appear to be the conflicting claims as to who wrote the tune; both Emblem3 and Mica Javier appear to have performed songs provided to them from external songwriters.
There are at least two studio versions that have been in circulation with Mica Javier as singer:
A version lacking an additional layer of electronic music effects. This seems to be the source version as used on Dance Moms, and a condensed portion can be heard in Liftime's Music Guide. The full version can be heard here, or by using the player below, although quality has been lost in conversion to *.ogg format.
