An Astronaut

I float in silence, heartbeat slow

Stars around me, flicker and glow

The radio hums and it's you, it's you

Soon I'll be home, from the moon

Launch lights fade and the world turns small

The blue below like a porcelain ball

You're the gravity I left behind

Pulling softly at my mind

I'm floating through the days

I know it's only a short time away

Time feels frozen, and so am I

Like chasing Earth across the sky

I'm an astronaut, lost in the blue

I'm an astronaut, in love, lost in you

I feel a million miles away

I miss your kisses, the things you say

Yeah, I'm just an astronaut, drifting through space

And every minute I miss your face

But don't worry, baby, I'm coming home

I'm coming home to you

I trace your name in the cosmic dust

Dreams of you surrounded by space and love

Every orbit brings me closer to you

It's hard to be away, I know it's true

I'm floating through the days

I know it's only a short time away

Time feels frozen, and so am I

Like chasing Earth across the sky

I'm an astronaut, lost in the blue

I'm an astronaut, in love, lost in you

I feel a million miles away

I miss your kisses, the things you say

Yeah, I'm just an astronaut, drifting through space

And every minute I miss your face

But don't worry, baby, I'm coming home

I'm coming home to you

I see reflections in the porthole glass

Every shadow of you comes to pass

I count the stars like heartbeat's truth

They shine tonight but none like you

I'm floating through the days

I know it's only a short time away

Time feels frozen, and so am I

Like chasing Earth across the sky

I'm an astronaut, lost in the blue

I'm an astronaut, in love, lost in you

I feel a million miles away

I miss your kisses, the things you say
