Fifteen thousand solar lengths, that’s the number glowing on the dash Ship wasn’t meant for folks like us we’re the ex‑pirate, renegade, discount crew riding second‑hand light. Princess gets the royal digs, rest of us get whats left over, [Spoken]we could do worse, She’s surviving in the shadows, and I’m the guy keeping us flying through the night Too far away, home’s just a bright little spark. Swirl of the galactic plane visible outside, I fly the ship through the dark, pretending I’m not scared of the void. Too far away… yeah, home is too far away. Ten thousand solar lengths to go, further than I’ve flown without an attack . Halfway home? [Spoken]Not a chance We hit a rock in the black, nearly cracked the hull like a cheap tin can. Little Princess got the worst, magic saved her, shame we can't get home like that. Too far away, home’s a smudge in the swirl. Galaxy stretching wider every minute, I’m flying through gas clouds just a man who wants to keep everybody alive. Too far away… yeah, home is so far away. Five thousand solar lengths remaining, news rolling in, not much changes War and fire across the realm, conflict, death, destruction the usual cosmic triple shot. and if one of them dies my rep goes straight to hell. Too far away, home’s a splash of stars near the core. Orders fly, destination unknown, tell us turn away from her home, we chase the frontier once more cause it's her ship, even if the princess is unsure Too far away… yeah, the frontier calls today. I know these stars, I know these routes, We made it home, but there’s no rest for folks like me. Crossed the void to save this crew, they’re alive that’s the only rep I need. Too far away… even home feels far away. Yeah, we made it back, but do any of us have a home to go back to today?
