In Space

(album: You're Awful, I Love You - 2008)

The moon is old, all dusty craters
Fear and panic orbit Mars
Saturn's dark-side rings are just plain beautiful
Back on Earth, you're waking up soon
Stretching in the morning light
No celestial body could compare to you
And even though I'd always dreamed of going to the stars

In space, all I think about is you and me and atmosphere
This place is terrible and endless
Counting moon rocks for the cause, just me in a little pod
I can't wait for gravity to bring you close to me

All I got's this little window
Never lets me see too much
I bet the leaves are changing there again
From solar winds to zero-Kelvin
I'm hurtling and pressurized
If only I could get a breath of you
And even though I'd always dreamed of going to the stars

In space, all I think about is you and me and atmosphere
This place is terrible and endless
Counting moon rocks for the cause, just me in a little pod
I can't wait for gravity to bring you close to me

I hope this message finds you and you won't feel so alone
Even if I never make it home

In space (the tiles are burning, all the time we had)
All I think about is you and me (goes rushing past my window view.)
And atmosphere
In space (through the flames, I keep a steady hand)
Your picture's all I look at, my place (my eyes are clear, my aim is true.)
Is with you below, watching leaves change in the yard
Dreaming of the stars
I can't wait for gravity to bring me home
