Forever Came Calling - I Am Astronaut Lyrics

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.

Your 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.

Your 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.

It’s bigger than this but not bigger than me.
It’s bigger than this but not bigger than me.
It’s bigger than this but not bigger than me.

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.

“boys and girls in america have such a sad time together.
Society demands that they submit to sex immediately without proper preliminary talk.
Not courting talk, real talk about souls.
For life is holy and every moment is precious.”

I’m gonna map this galaxy and i will name her after things.
Think of all that supported me, that’s you. that’s you.
