Já sabíamos que o novo álbum de The National, I Am Easy to Find, será acompanhado por um filme a preto e branco, protagonizado por Alicia Vikander e realizado por Mike Mills. Entretanto, surgiu um primeiro teledisco cujas imagens pertencerão, por certo, a esse filme — eis Light Years, pequena pérola visual e melodramática.
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
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
I thought I saw your mother last weekend in the park
It could've been anybody, it was after dark
Everyone was lighting up in the shadows alone
You could've been right there next to me, and I'd have never known
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
