Lone Planet

As I hovered in the background
Wishing I could just disappear without a trace, I
Heard an unexpected sound
It was coming from beneath my chest
And so I pried it open and there I saw
There was a planet where my heart should be
You should have seen it
Plants and sands and seas
Someone there was calling out to me

I'm out here doing the best I can
Like you told me to
Like you want me to
But I'm lonely and I need a friend
Look at all this space
I saved you a place

You keep saying you will understand
When you're older now
I guess you're old enough
If you don't wake up this won't mean a thing
But what a pleasant dream
This whole life has been

As I made my way around the room
Drifting out to any open mouth that would allow me
Felt I should be going soon
There was nothing much to talk about
Yet everyone was shouting, so I ate the food
And I drank the drinks
But all the while I felt for something
Whirring inside my chest
I took it out and there it span about

I'm out here doing the best I can
Like you told me to
Like you want me to
But I'm lonely and I need a friend
Look at all this space
I saved you a place

Maybe someday you will understand
When you're older now
I guess you're old enough
If you don't wake up this won't mean a thing
But what a pleasant dream
This whole life has been

I've been here just trying to do my best
Isn't that what you told me I should do?
But I cannot do this by myself
You like it lonely like I like you only
And everyone you know is here I guess
All your friends arrived
I saved you a spot
It is getting dark inside this chest
But what a pleasant life
This whole dream was
