Astronaut

All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
Before the so called life got in the way
8 miles high, I turned the light switch on
Laugh at all the games I use to play

But I had a dream when I was seven
Secret door at the back of heaven
I woke up the second I walked in
And over time the dream got old and faded
And everything just gets so complicated

I watched them send the rocket up in florida
And everybody cheered and waved goodbye
I imagined it was me up in the captains chair
Leaving laws of gravity behind

Now the weight is heavy on my sholders
Nine to five I'mgetting older
Truth be told it really aint that bad
And over time the dream got old and faded
And everthing just gets so complicated

Instrumental

Well All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
I guess its a little late for that right now
And i get up every morning just to punch the clock
And take the number 8 bus 'cross town

Well I try my best not to regret it
Most of the time I just forget it
Maybe another place some other time
Cause after all the dream got old and faded
And everything just gets so complicated
But all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
