astronaut

[Intro]

Ah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

Ah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

Ah (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

Ah-ah (Ah, ah)

[Verse 1]

They say she's pretty

She comes from money

She gives you everything I couldn't give

You take her to the beach

You talk rationally

That's the kind of life I could never live

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm an astronaut (Ah, ah)

I'm tethered to the stars (Ah, ah)

Yeah, I'm an astronaut (Ah, ah)

Who still thinks the world could be ours (Ah, ah)

[Post-Chorus]

But I sit here and watch you and her from outer space

I watch every part of me be replaced

And slowly, but surely

I'll drift away

[Verse 2]

They say you sing to her (Ah-ah)

She understands your humor (Ah-ah)

I'm glad you found yourself someone you can tie down (Ah, ah)

Oh-oh, let me ask you something small (Ah-ah)

Are you recycling it all? (Ah-ah)

All of the sweet little words

And the perfect slow burns

I wonder if you told her I did that shit first (Ah)

[Chorus]

Mmm, but I'm an astronaut (Ah)

Could never keep my feet on the ground (Ah, ah)

Yeah, I'm an astronaut (Ah, ah)

My dreams were too big to make you proud (Ah, ah)

[Post-Chorus]

So I sit here and watch you and her from outer space

I watch every part of me be replaced

And slowly, but surely

I'll drift away

[Bridge]

You couldn't handle my lunacy, my voice, my opportunity

The distance in my confidence, no you couldn't put up with it

You left me stranded in the stars and ran into anothers arms

And then you'll see me on the T.V. and be proud

Until then, just please do not forget about

[Chorus]

Your little astronaut

Who's tethered to the stars

Your little astronaut

Who still thinks the world could be ours

[Post-Chorus]

Who's sittin' and watchin' you and her from outer space

I watch every part of me be replaced

And slowly, but surely, I'll

I'll be okay

[Outro]

Mmm, mmm (Ah, ah)

I'll be okay
