Astronaut Lyrics

Astronaut

You've got nothing to lose

Or to come home to

Afterthought

That's all I was to you

But my love was true

You were the center

Of my universe

Now you're just

Another man on the moon

You built your whole life

On being built to leave

I should've known that

You were never mine to keep

Meant for the sky

You needed space I couldn't give

Got too hard to breathe

Down here where there's oxygen

It's not enough to reach for the stars

You want to be where they are

Astronaut

You've got nothing to lose

Or to come home to

Afterthought

That's all I was to you

But my love was true

You were the center

Of my universe

Now you're just

Another man on the moon

Does it get lonely

Out there chasing the sun

As far as I know

What goes up still comes down

Meant for the sky

And I was some kind of gravity

Kid with the dreams

I wanted your reality

If I could've reached the stars

I would be where you are

You sent my world into orbit

I'd love you and lose you for it

Destined for the dust

Connecting the dots

Like constellations

To realize now I was never part of the dream

You were a flight risk

I was a risk for falling

Sorry you couldn't afford it

Yeah the mission couldn't be aborted

So you sacrificed me for it

All I did was adore it

Astronaut

You've got nothing to lose

Or to come home to

Afterthought

That's all I was to you

But my love was true

You were the center

Of my universe

Now you're just

Another man on the moon
