astronaut Lyrics

You took one step in my direction and I knew

Where are you coming from

Where have you been

It took quite a while but I finally got you to move

Toward that happiness you let loose

So what's the joke

I haven't laughed in so long

These tears still fall

But I'll try to stay calm

You left your soul

Where you knew you wouldn't be again

Because you won't be free again

From these shackles you've locked

A traveler passed as I raced to the edge of the moon

He said "lay down your head

It'll be over soon"

He said "love what you may but you're bound to get lost in the tune

They are not listening

This will fall through"

So what's the jest

They don't know what to say

They don't know who to blame

They can only feel shame

Is there rest

When the end is so near

When you're crippled by fear

I'll dry your tears

Life was shades of grey and blue

I tried to paint the sky

For you I would do it all again

For you I would surely die

So when your mind is broken

And your life is slipping away

I would run to heaven

Just to make you stay

Stay here

Stay here with me

I'll be all that you need

Just stay here with me

It's safe here

I want you to see

I'll be all that you need

Just stay here with me
