The Astronaut Lyrics by The Hoodies

Karma Is A Boomerang

2005

[Verse 1]
I knew a girl who dreamed she'd touch the sky
She gazed at it every night
Picking out her stars
"Someday I think I'll leave this world" she says
Thinking inside her head that it can't really be that far
[Chorus]
For every I love you that he never meant
A kiss on someone else's lips
I love you’s that he never meant
A kiss on someone else’s lips
(The chain remains)
A hundred candles forgive his sins
Two floors down a girl gives in
The chain remains
[Verse 2]
As time went by the girl got older
Her attempts to fly got bolder
But still something held her down
It was the ball and chain she wore for luck
It was her love for it that kept her stuck
I had promised her so much
[Chorus]
For every I love you that he never meant
A kiss on someone else's lips
I love you’s that he never meant
A kiss on someone else’s lips
(The chain remains)
A hundred candles forgive his sins
Two floors down a girl gives in
The chain
[Bridge]
The ball and chain was all he left
It screams out broken promises
(The chain remains)
It's just an empty shell, his heart was somewhere else
The ball and chain was all he left
It screams out broken promises
(The chain remains)
It's just an empty shell, his heart was somewhere else
(Is it sinking in?)
Are you catching on?
Is it getting through?
[Outro]
The ball and chain was all he left
It screams out broken promises
It's just an empty shell
