Astronaut

Small enough to slip inside a book?

Small enough to cover with your hand

Because everyone around you wants to look?

Is it enough to have some love

Small enough to fit inside the cracks?

The pieces don't fit together so good

For all the breaking all the gluing back

I am still not getting what I want!

I want to touch the back of your right arm

I wish you could remind me who I was

Because everyday I'm a little further off

But you are my lovely astronaut

Flying in the face of science

I would gladly stay an afterthought

Just bring back some nice reminders

Is it getting harder to pretend

That life goes on without you in the wake?

Can you see the means without the end?

In the random frantic action that we take

Is it getting easy not to care

Despite the many rings around your name

It isnt funny and it isnt fair

You traveled all this way and its the same

But you are my lovely astronaut

Flying in the face of science

I would gladly stay an afterthought

Just bring back some nice reminders

I would tell them anything to see you split the evening

But as you see I do not have an awful lot to tell

Everybodys sick for something that they can find fascinating

Everyone but you and he then you are feeling well

Yes you are my lovely astronaut

Clutching (?) in the name of science

Just my luck they found you up ahead (?)

Its a very nice reminder

Its a very nice reminder

You may be acquainted with the night

But I have seen the darkness and the day

And you must know that its a terrifying sight

Because you and I are living the same way
