Astronauts - Rachel Platten

Let’s meet up far away

Where astronauts and gravity

Have opened up the atmosphere

We’ll be so safe up here

Navigating the space

We’ll create our own star

And I’ll name it after you

We’ll be so calm up there

We’ll fly around with the quiet air

The sun will bring us 'round again

Inhaling and orbiting

Our great planet will fit on the tip of your thumb

You’ll say I finally see how time stops

And everything that hurts us drops off

I’ll be what you want

When everything is gone

Let the world disappear

There are places up here we can hide

We’ll be safe way up high

Somewhere only we can find

And no one’s safe from being called out or evaluated

And people change on a whim

So cue the violence

Let’s go rescue a planet that’s been thrown away (yeah)

You’ll name it after me

'Cause after all we’re only one triumphant bang away

From resting in infinity or darkness or some brighter place

Let’s not waste one more second on caring about

Trying to figure out what looks right

'Cause that can’t take away that you’re mine

I’ll be what you want

When everything is gone

Let the world disappear

There are places up here we can hide

Somewhere only we can find

I’ll be what you want when everything is gone

Let the world disappear

There are places up here we can hide

We’ll be safe way up high

Somewhere only we can find

My, suddenly the stars are flashlights

The universe will make your eyes shine

Can’t you feel away that time stops?

Everything that hurts drops off

Now I’ll be what you want

When everything is gone

Let the world disappear

There are places up here we can hide

Somewhere only we can find

I’ll be what you want when everything is gone

Let the world disappear

There are places up here we can hide

We’ll be safe way up high

Somewhere only we can find
