Astronauts Lyrics

Like an astronaut

A thousand miles under the sea

How can I reach you?

When you just need to be alone

Looking for a light to crash with

Driving with my eyes wide shut

Why can't I see you?

Why can't I feel when you're close?

All these times you could've faded away…

I saw your heart iridescent tilt

Under the weight of your own wings

But you're strong enough

You'll wake up somewhere new

Who forgot to punch holes in my shoebox?

I though I saw Tom drifting on my way out

The ghost under my bed got lonely

I offered him to switch spots just for once

Summer always brings the worst in us

I could've sworn this song was meant for you

The words got stuck, pierced in my skin

Trying not to say what I should've told

Someone said the sky changes even if you don't

The more you try to run away

The faster you'll fall

I saw my heart iridescent tilt

Under the weight of what I should've been

Am I strong enough to wake up somewhere new?

I saw us fall in a silence bed

I am glad at least you got away

Is there a place where I

Could go to start something new

All these times I though we'd fade away but I still feel it…
