Is it enough to have some love?
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 slip inside the cracks
The pieces don't fit together so good
For all the breaking and all the gluing back
And 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 every day I'm a little further off
But you are my love, the astronaut
Flying in the face of science
I will 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
And can you see the means without the end
In the random frantic action that we take?
And is it getting easy not to care
Despite the many rings around your name?
It isn't funny and it isn't fair
You've traveled all this way and it's the same
But you are my love, the astronaut
Flying in the face of science
I will gladly stay an afterthought
Just bring back some nice reminders
And I would tell them anything to see you split the evening
But as you see I do not have an awful lot to tell
Everybody's sick for something that they can find fascinating
Everyone but you and even you aren't feeling well
Yes, you are my love, the astronaut
Crashing in the name of science
Just my luck they sent your upper half
It's a very nice reminder
It's a very nice reminder
And you may be acquainted with the night
I have seen the darkness in day
And you must know it is a terrifying sight
Because you and I are living the same way
Astronaut
