I like to float out in space
Sure, it’s cold and bare,
but it’s something I can embrace!
trust me, I can afford the despair
no, no, I prefer it to Earth
I promise it’s not that sad,
people don’t give it what it’s worth!
it’s the closest to home I’ve ever had.
I don’t want to see my parents or my friend
I like the cold, dark silence
I want to stay in space, where I can continually suspend
I don’t need any guidance
I can’t understand why after all these years,
they just now want to pull me down?
they shipped me up here, despite all my fears
and now that I’m comfortable, they want me on the ground?
I want to stay among the stars
I want to feel their cold glow, still
if i go down, I’ll be confined to their steel bars
and I’ll be stuck, chained down beyond my will
but I’ll always float
I wasn’t meant for the ground
and I’ll leave, without a note
and I’ll be in space again, without a sound
I don’t care what they say
I’m fine! I’m healthy! I love it here!
this is my only get away
this is my home, year after year.
and I’m not alone
I have my own gravity,
so you can leave me on my own
and leave me to my own reality
I’ll be okay, trust me
I’ll make my journey back to space
and I promise, I guarantee,
I’ll be best in this place
so farewell, goodbye,
this astronaut isn’t coming back down
I belong here, in the sky,
because I am the only company I want to be around.
