Astronaut Lyrics

Is it enough to have some love
small enough to slip inside a book?
Small enough to cover with your hand
Because everyone around you wants to look?

Is it enough to have some love
small enough to fit inside the cracks?
The pieces don't fit together so good
For all the breaking all the gluing back

I am still not getting what I want!
I want to touch the back of your right arm
I wish you could remind me who I was
Because everyday I'm a little further off

But you are my love, the astronaut,
Flying in the face of science
I would gladly stay an afterthought
Just bring back some nice reminders

Is it getting harder to pretend
That life goes on without you in the wake?
Can you see the means without the end?
In the random frantic action that we take

Is it getting easy not to care
Despite the many rings around your name
It isn't funny and it isn't fair
You traveled all this way and it's the same

But you are my love, the astronaut,
Flying in the face of science
I would gladly stay an afterthought
Just bring back some nice reminders

I would tell them anything to see you split the evening
But as you see I do not have an awful lot to tell
Everybody's sick for something that they can find fascinating
everyone but you and even you aren't feeling well

Yes you are my love, the astronaut
Crashing in the name of science
Just my luck they found your upper half
It's a very nice reminder
It's a very nice reminder

You may be acquainted with the night
But I have seen the darkness and the day
And you must know that it's a terrifying sight
Because you and I are living the same way
