a song on the Kerplunk! album from Green Day, written for Adrienne Armstrong, Billie Joe's wife.

A song about how Billie and Adrienne had just started talking and dating and she had to leave to go back to the other side of the country while he toured.

He was sad and wished to be with her.
I wish I had a boyfriend who wrote me a song like 2000 light years away.
