Like a Laika

I've flirted with death before, but never so seriously
Today I was so close to feeling okay
And then the nightmare decided to drop by
It's alright if you don't want to stay
I'm insufferable when I want to die

Even when I'm sitting here with you
I feel like I'm a million miles away
It's alright if you want to leave
I never seem to have anything to say

Launched into orbit
Instantly as good as dead
What's the good in seeing stars
If they're only spinning around my head?

I need somebody to know
What it's like when I start to freeze
But it's alright if you want to go
Don't worry about me, please

Launched into orbit
And I've lost you again
If I never had met you
I never would have had a friend

But maybe it's better when you don't know what you're missing
Instead, I'm just left here fucking reminiscing
And I wish I never realized I was in space
And I just thought I was floating in the same old place
