Astronauts

Like an astronaut
A thousand miles under the sea
How can I reach you?
When you just need to be alone

Looking for a light to crash with
Driving with my eyes wide shut
Why can't I see you?
Why can't I feel when you're close?

All these times you could've faded away...

I saw your heart iridescent tilt
Under the weight of your own wings
But you're strong enough
You'll wake up somewhere new

Who forgot to punch holes in my shoebox?
I though I saw Tom drifting on my way out
The ghost under my bed got lonely
I offered him to switch spots just for once

Summer always brings the worst in us
I could've sworn this song was meant for you
The words got stuck, pierced in my skin
Trying not to say what I should've told

Someone said the sky changes even if you don't
The more you try to run away
The faster you'll fall

I saw my heart iridescent tilt
Under the weight of what I should've been
Am I strong enough to wake up somewhere new?

I saw us fall in a silence bed
I am glad at least you got away
Is there a place where I
Could go to start something new

All these times I though we'd fade away but I still feel it...
