"The Astronaut" lyrics

One take

2:35 on a Friday and I haven't felt this alive since the last time you smiled
And the shift of it all is that I'm at the end of the line
I'll stare at sky watch your Delta fly by as the cracks form inside
From the time I arrived at this place I don't know
But I'm gonna make this place home

And I jump past the edge of the atmosphere
I flew past the moon but still see you clear
And you won't believe it but you've been here too
Got me thinkin' of you so I'll wait up here
And you'll pull me back down to Earth
Now I'm burning up in the stratosphere
I'm fallin' apart, can you see me dear?
I'll crash and be gone babe
And like it or not you can call me the astronaut

Bookstores, old movies, train tracks, and silence
Speeding down roads nobody was driving
And don't you feel bad cause I saw things that I'd never had
And I'll write a song cause it's all that I know
I won't ask you to listen just hope that you do
And between all the lines oh I'll write 'til my fingers turn blue

And I jump past the edge of the atmosphere
I flew past the moon but still see you clear
And you won't believe it but you've been here too
Got me thinkin' of you so I'll wait up here
And you'll pull me back down to Earth
Now I'm burning up in the stratosphere
I'm fallin' apart, can you see me dear?
I'll crash and be gone babe
And like it or not you can call me the astronaut
