Spaceship Heart

She came at me holding all the keys
And in a minute I was on my knees
Looked to heaven but there ain't no time
With the launch set for tomorrow

You can shelter every day you want
Down in a foxhole with a confidant
It makes no difference to an astronaut
Circling round the planet

And nothing feels the same
But the orbits of your pain
Round and round again
Your spaceship heart

Well there's no answer written in the stars
And there's no romance finding life on mars
You can't hide behind those avatars
Now your bones are catching up with your soul

Start the countdown zero hour at eight
Check ignition, get your flight log straight
Rather daunting, quite the juggernaut
"It's lonely out in space"

And nothing feels the same
But the orbits of your pain
Round and round again
Your spaceship heart

And time won't heal your wounds
It just marries them to tunes
You can beam them to the moon
Well maybe that's a start

And nothing feels the same
But the orbits of your pain
Round and round again
Your spaceship heart

You pay your tribute to the new frontier
Get instructions from the engineer
Bounce this ship off of the atmosphere
And hurtle towards another heartache

And nothing feels the same
But the orbits of your pain
Round and round again
Your spaceship heart

And time won't heal your wounds
It just marries them to tunes
You can beam them to the moon
Well maybe that's a start
