So Long

My spaceship didn't pack enough snacks
But there's no time to look back
The World is tiny out my window
You've heard this story plenty before
Alone, untethered, unmoored
But now the leading actor is somebody that I know
Hopeless lies between the stars
and Hope is out there in the dark
And I'm the one they sent to find
the missing pieces of my mind
There's room here for another,
but I'm gone, gone, gone, gone,
Gone, alone, so long
My radio is broken again
Or they just won't let me in
I can't check the fate of my transmission
The light takes years to travel this far
And I'm not sure where they are -
The ones who know I'm out here and who sent me all this way for nothing
I fly between the stars
since Hope is out there in the dark
And I'm the one they sent to find
the missing pieces of my mind
There's room here for another,
but I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, alone, so long
The oxygen I'm breathing in
Is the same thing that it's always been
So wait, breathe out, don't panic.
I'll try not to panic.
Who said I was panicking?
Hopeless lies between the stars
and Hope is out there in the dark
And I'm the one they sent to find
the missing pieces of my mind
There's room here for another,
but I'm gone, gone, gone, gone,
Gone, alone,
I fly between the stars
since Hope is out there in the dark
And I'm the one they sent to find
the missing pieces of my mind
There's room here for another,
but I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone,
Gone, alone, so long

If my leg should fall asleep here
Do you think that I could shake myself awake
Without disturbing you too much?
Since I'm steering as you rest, dear,
And the space is precious that if I should move,
We almost certainly would touch
I say I'm steering, but
We're hurtling in orbit
It's you and me and every single star from every single midnight sky
When do we come down, and do you
Think we're gonna make it out alive?
Will we survive?
From up here, the world seems bigger
Even if it's only big enough for two
To sit and watch and understand
Do the oceans look much bluer?
Can you see the lights of people?
Do you wonder if we're ever going to land?
I don't know if we can
We're hurtling in orbit
It's you and me and every single star from every single midnight sky
When do we come down, and do you
Think we're gonna make it out alive?
Will we survive?
We're so light, we're strapped in tight so we don't hit our heads
Against the glass that splits the universe in two
Cause there's the universe outside
And there's a universe in here with you
If my leg should fall asleep here
Do you think that I could shake myself awake
Without disturbing you?
