Momentum

Nothing other than the sound
Of our love hitting the ground
I just thought that you would wake up
When I left to see our rocket's wreck

Not another man in sight
And no-one to see me right
I just wanted you to drive me into the night
To bring me closer to the light

And I know I'm not an angel
But I thought I'd taste a little heaven
And I thought I knew how it felt to crash
But I'd only felt the loss of my momentum
And you took care of that

So we soared into the sky
And the stars went zooming by
Guess I thought that in a vacuum we could try
To find some other life

And when you talked of going back
I could see a strength I lack
I just thought we felt the same way but now I see
That you were only trailing me

And I know I'm not an angel
But I thought I'd taste a little heaven
And I thought I knew how it felt to crash
But I'd only felt the loss of my momentum
Now I see the spectrum and I

I've got to let you go
'Cause now I finally know
That what I wanted was a dream
And in space, no-one can hear you scream

'Cause I know I'm not an angel
But I thought that miracles could happen
And I thought that I could see the surface
But I only took us into noxious gases
Just one last kiss and I'll go

And I know I'm not an angel
But I thought I'd taste a little heaven
And I thought I knew how it felt to crash
But I'd only felt the loss of my momentum
Now I see the spectrum
And on reflection
It was my momentum
