SPACEMAN

The vampires are coming out tonight
To taste the summer sky
There's something in the darkness
That makes them feel alive

I am just an astronaut
I have no business here
I am always leaving earth
Hoping to be healed

I know you're feeling lonely
For the world is shrinking down
And it can feel peculiar
When you cannot feel the ground

I am just an astronaut
This world is not my home
My nature makes me distant
And leaves you here alone

But gravity won't stick to me
And the earth has bled me dry
Like a feather in the wind
I lift up to the sky

But up here in the darkness
I feel so close to you
You're down there in the summertime
The earth, it looks so blue

We were born from distants stars
From the origins of light
Like wild horses on the earth
Like giants in the sky

I'm searching for our history
In the light of the dying stars
As time goes by, and each one dies
I push further into the dark

At night, we dressed ourselves in black
And dove into the ocean
Those nights, the sky came down so low
We reached right up and touched it

We climbed up on the lifeguard chairs
To be closer to the sky
In space, we were suspended
I could see it in your eyes

On the earth, my eyes have closed
But I have new ones here
They remind me of a summer storm
Dark and silver, gold and clear

In the dark dust of a stellar cradle
Inside the cosmic womb
Your heartbeat pounds just like the waves
On the earth that looks so blue

I wonder where you are down there
On that tiny, spinning dot
I think back to the summertime
I search back through the dark

I hope the light is winning there
And your skin can feel the sun
And when you taste the evening sky
You remember where you're from

You were born from distant stars
From the origins of light
Like a wild horse upon the earth
Like a giant in the sky

I am on a solo quest to the other side
From dust, we are born
Into dust, we are gone
New galaxies born from new eyes.
