Astronaut

原文

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 slip inside the cracks

The pieces don't fit together so good

With all the breaking and all the gluing back

And 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 every day I'm a little further off

But you are, my love, the astronaut

Flying in the face of science

I will 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?

And 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've traveled all this way, and it's the same

But you are, my love, the astronaut

Flying in the face of science

I will 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

But you are, my love, the astronaut

Flying in the face of science

I will gladly stay an afterthought

Just bring back some nice reminders

Yes! You are, my love, the astronaut

Crashing in the name of science

Just my luck, they sent 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 in the day

And you must know it is a terrifying sight

Because you and i are living the same way
