Wouldn't it be cool if we were astronauts
Zero gravity, two-one-blast off?
Take my hand it's time to leave this place
Wouldn't if be cool if it were both of us
Circumnavigate, map the stars out
See the world from here in outer space?
We're not trying to get away
Just wanna see if the sun stays
When we go to sleep
And I'll hold your hand past Mars
If Orion looks at you wrong
I just may need to beat those pussy-ass stars
Wouldn't it be cool if we were astronauts
Zero gravity, two-one-blast off?
Take my hand it's time to leave this place
Wouldn't if be cool if it were both of us
Circumnavigate, map the stars out
See the world from here in outer space?
5-4-3-2-1 let's take off
5-4-3-2-1
5-4-3-2-1 let's take off
We're clear to go
5-4-3-2-1 let's take off
5-4-3-2-1
5-4-3-2-1 let's take off
We're clear to go
And everyday, we'll eat toothpaste and pretend we like the taste
And everyday, we'll eat toothpaste and pretend we like the taste
And everyday, we'll eat toothpaste and pretend we like the taste
And everyday, we'll eat toothpaste and pretend we like the taste
We can't look back!
If we were astronauts
Zero gravity, two-one-blast off?
Take my hand it's time to leave this place
Wouldn't if be cool if it were both of us
Circumnavigate, map the stars out
See the world from here in outer space?
Wouldn't it be cool if we were astronauts?
Wouldn't it be cool if we were cosmonauts?
Wouldn't it be cool if we were astronauts?
