The Astronaut Lyrics by Rachel Robrecht

The Astronaut- EP

2017

[Verse 1]
I found a man in the moon and he said
“Hey astronaut, what are you doing so very far from home?”
I told him, “I am searching for another form of life”
And he laughed and said “Good luck, kid, cause the truth is, you’re alone”
[Verse 2]
And I didn’t know it at the time, but he was right
Cause I may have found some cells somewhere, but you weren’t by my side
And so I picked up the telephone before I remembered
That you’re a million miles away and you wouldn’t answer if I tried
Cause you said you needed
[Chorus]
Time and space
To take a break
To find out who you are
But since I went away
Well, I’ve seen your face
In every shining star
And you said I’d be okay
You never meant to hurt me
And I would understand someday
But time and space
Mean nothing, babe
Without you
[Verse 3]
So I keep your photograph on the dashboard of my rocket ship
And I wonder, does the earth still turns since I left it behind?
And I know much of our galaxy is shrouded in mystery
But it’s harder still to comprehend the workings of your mind
Like why you needed
[Chorus]
Time and space
To take a break
To find out who you are
But since I went away
Well, I’ve seen your face
In every shining star
And you said I’d be okay
You never meant to hurt me
And I would understand someday
But time and space
Mean nothing, babe
Without you
[Bridge]
So buy me rocket fuel and send me home
I’ll go crashing through the atmosphere and burning up ozone
And I’ll float in my capsule in the ocean while I wait
For somebody to rescue me, I just pray I’m not too late
[Chorus]
Cause you’ve had your time and space
You took a break
Did you find out who you are?
Cause when I was away
I saw your face
In every shining star
And you said I’d be okay
You never meant to hurt me
But you did it anyway
Now time and space
Mean nothing, babe
Without you
