Astronaut Lyrics by Jack Rootes

2019

[Verse 1]

Ground control to J.R
Do you hear me?
I know you’re still there
We’ve been doing this yearly
I know what you want right now;
Your name up there in the stars
But I wanna know when you’ll come back
I beg your plans to make a start

[Bridge 1]

I know the fact that sadly
With that tragic sense of finality
You’ll never be able to reach me
I fear you’re planning to leave me

Somewhere in the world today
I know we’ll met up in some way
Time slows down through my fingers
But the memories of us still linger

[Hook]

I know
The world changes quickly
So will I cope
If I come home?

That’s my one thought
I’m an astronaut;
Floatin' so freely
’s life goes on beneath me

[Verse 2]

If I came back to Earth
Will they be gone?
Will they even remember me
After so long?

For all I know, my family
May outlive my energy
And my friends may end up
Forgetting our memories

[Bridge 2]

I’d hold my breath ’till I’m on show
But lately, I’ve been feeling so low
The world seems far and so cold
Was I pulled into a black hole?

I waste my time, keep looking back
Knowing my mind and heart are so cracked
I’ve never felt like this before
Why do I keep on wanting more?

[Hook]

[Verse 3 - Rapped]

I’m losing my mind, I feel I can barely breathe
I gotta wonder, will my ears start to deceive me
If I come back to Earth and they tell me
That time has changed what I call reality?
Will my friends remember me after so long?
Will their memories of me continue so strong?
Or will they move on in their lives without me
Leaving me lost while they move around free

'Cause making music these days are now all I know
Live the cycle every day and like this it goes;
Find a beat, write and rap my bars and rhymes
All day in the studio, do it a thousand times!
The beats must be hard, the delivery, perfect
The rhymes: flawless, make sure they're worth it!
But if I came back to Earth after this time
Could I cope with changes in this life of mine?

[Hook]
