This article is about old AJR content that is considered lost. Recordings of it may still exist on the internet, but adding them to this wiki is strongly discouraged as the band no longer wishes for the content to be publicly available and it will likely be taken down.
“Eons Away” is a single released by AJR all the way back on September 23, 2011 as part of their “Fresh Song Friday” promotion. While discovered by AJREarlyReleases in late 2021 and uploaded by several other users in early 2022, the song has been lost to time.
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
(Oh, yeah)
[Verse 1]
I never closed the curtains after you left
I still can smell the rocket fumes
I try to forget the night we laid out on the lawn
Our faces white in the eyes of the moon
[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I-I can wait a thousand years before you can chastice my tears
But please remember, baby, don’t forget the times we spent here on Earth
[Chorus]
Who is the one who makes me close my eyes?
When everyone else has beaten down my pride
I could be halfway around this Earth
And you know, I’ll still be on your mind
[Verse 2]
You never quite seemed like you belonged (hey, hey)
I wouldn’t let myself be fooled
Of all the pretty faces smiling here on Earth
Oh, I cannot see them next to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I-I can wait a thousand years before you can chastice my tears
But please remember, baby, don’t forget the times we spent here on Earth
[Chorus]
Who is the one who makes me close my eyes?
When everyone else has beaten down my pride
I could be halfway around this Earth
And you know, I’ll still be on your mind
(ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Bridge]
Don’t look back (look back), don’t make a sound (a sound)
You’re better off on your own
Find a new life (find a new life), forget what we had (forget what we had)
This atmosphere is sad enough for us both (oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I never closed the curtains after you left
But now you’re eons away (oh, woah)
[Chorus]
Who is the one who makes me close my eyes? (oh, yeah)
When everyone else has beaten down my pride (beaten down my pride)
I could be halfway around this Earth
And you know, I’ll still be on your mind (still be on your mind)
(oh yeah)
Still be on your mind (woah-oh-oh)
Still be on your mind
