I am astronaut I am astronaut I am the sole reason this shuttle will sink or swim against the wind I am the sole reason this shuttle will sink or swim against the wind Jet fuel is so expensive When I'm nineteen and I know what I've been missing The life that all my friends will chase Is the same life that I will always hate You're calling out my name again I'm wondering where have you been Those nights I've spent away from you Shooting for the moon I begged you to show me the maps and notes I know they read This is where we lost the thing keeping us alive She said she's building me a rocket ship and sometimes I'm dumb to believe This and her it's all I need You planned you failed, the stories and telltales Bad astronaut with the contagious dream Bad astronaut, so don't blame it on me You're calling out my name again I'm wondering where have you been Those nights I've spent away from you Shooting for the moon I begged you to show me the maps and notes I know they read This is where we lost the thing keeping us alive I'm doing fine without you It's been a while since I've talked to the girl who gave me, for the world And don't forget to send me a postcard from your travels You've seen it, tell me about how life ain't worth it anymore
