astronaut

[00:16.16] They say she's pretty

[00:19.88] She comes from money

[00:23.87] She gives you everything I couldn't give

[00:31.57] You take her to the beach

[00:35.29] You talk rationally

[00:38.47] That's the kind of life I could never live

[00:45.38] Cause I'm an astronaut

[00:49.90] I'm tethered to the stars

[00:53.35] Yeah, I'm an astronaut who still thinks the world could be ours

[01:01.85] But I sit here and watch you and her from outer space

[01:06.36] I'll watch every part of me be replaced

[01:10.35] And slowly, but surely, I'll drift away

[01:19.38] They say you sing to her

[01:22.83] She understands your humor

[01:27.08] I'm glad you found yourself someone you can tie down

[01:32.94] Oh, Let me ask you something small, are you recycling it all?

[01:41.71] All the sweet little words and the perfect slow burns

[01:45.18] I wonder if you told her I did that shit first

[01:52.08] But I'm an astronaut, could never keep my feet on the ground

[02:00.58] Yeah, I'm an astronaut, my dreams were too big to make you proud

[02:08.82] So I sit here and watch you and her from outer space

[02:13.60] I'll watch every part of me be replaced

[02:17.58] And slowly, but surely, I'll drift away

[02:26.08] You couldn't handle my lunacy, my voice, my opportunity

[02:29.80] The distance and my confidence, no you couldn't put up with it

[02:34.05] You left me stranded in the stars and ran into another's arms

[02:38.08] Will you see me on the TV and be proud?

[02:42.33] Until then, just please do not forget about

[02:47.38] Your little astronaut who's tethered to the stars

[02:55.46] Your little astronaut who still thinks the world could be ours

[03:04.49] Who's sitting and watching you and her from outer space

[03:08.74] I'll watch every part of me be replaced

[03:12.72] And slowly, but surely, I'll be okay

[03:21.76] (music)

[03:24.94] mmm

[03:27.86] I'll be okay
