Lyrics

Astronaut

He wanted to know about my time
On the other side of the moon
He wanted to know I'm doing fine
Without orbiting his sun
But I can't hold back

He wanted to see my sun shine down
And watch it catch my eye
He wanted to feel my wall fall down
And cross my picket line
But I can't hold back

I can't hold on
I can't hold on
Without it slipping through my fingers
Without it falling from my hands

He wanted to give me room to breathe
So that I wouldn't run
He wanted to ask about the stars
And my travels to orion
But I can't hold back

I can't hold on
I can't hold on
Without it slipping through my fingers
Without it falling from my hands

Been on a cruise in the heavens
And how I flew
Down on earth it was a little colder
Missing you

He said that I could light up the sky
Said I was a lovely burn
Said I am his night
I never was one for the sun
But I can't hold back

I can't hold on
I can't hold on
Without it slipping through my fingers
Without it falling from my hands
