The Astronaut

Things happen for a reason
i never meant to hurt you.
And i can see your face
every night in a dream.
Blue skies surround my head
as i stand outside your window.
and there's a voice inside my head
telling me to go back home.
But i can't
i will not let this rest
until you know.
That nothing turns out the way you planned it.
And love's just a word and i can't stand it.
Im leaving this note at the end of the hall way.
I asked would you be there and you said "always".
That nothing turns out the way you planned it.
And love's just a word and i can't stand it.
Im leaving this note at the end of the hall way.
I asked would you be there and you said "always".
Standing on the tiles of New York city
a wind blows down my neck.
A public worker in the middle streets
telling me to "to move alone"
Alone
Alone
Alone.
That nothing turns out the way you planned it.
And love's just a word and i can't stand it.
Im leaving this note at the end of the hall way.
I asked would you be there and you said "always".
