Astronomy Lyrics

I became a doctor so that I could stitch you up

Sewed in my heart beating but it wasn't enough

So I became a superhero and tried to save your life

But you took my cape away from me when you learned I couldn't fly

Then I became a builder so I could make you tall

Soon you were just made of stone

I was singing to a wall

And I turned into ivy

Thought maybe I'd grow on you

But my leaves weren't pretty

So you dug up my roots

And I became an astronaut so I could give you space

Thought maybe you'd love me if I went away

Thought you'd look through your telescope

And finally see me as a star

But I am just a hobby to an astronomer

Then I became your shadow stretched out on the grass

But the only time you wanted me was when it was overcast

So I turned into sunshine but then you wanted night

Think no matter what I was to you I would have been to bright

And I became an astronaut so I could give you space

Thought maybe you'd love me if I went away

Thought you'd look through your telescope

And finally see me as a star

But I am just a hobby to an astronomer

Ooooooo

Ooooooo

And I became an astronaut so I could give you space

Realized that I'm happier when I'm far away

Letting go is easy without your gravity

So I have my peace of mind and you have your astronomy
