(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
They say she's pretty
She comes from money
She gives you everything I couldn't give
You take her to the beach
You talk rationally
That's the kind of life I could never live
'Cause I'm an astronaut
I'm tethered to the stars
Yeah, I'm an astronaut who still thinks the world could be ours
But I sit here and watch you and her from outer space
I'll watch every part of me be replaced
And slowly, but surely, I'll drift away
They say you sing to her
She understands your humor
I'm glad you found yourself someone you can tie down
Oh, Let me ask you something small, are you recycling it all?
All the sweet little words and the perfect slow burns
I wonder if you told her I did that shit first
But I'm an astronaut, could never keep my feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm an astronaut, my dreams were too big to make you proud
So I sit here and watch you and her from outer space
I'll watch every part of me be replaced
And slowly, but surely, I'll drift away
You couldn't handle my lunacy, my voice, my opportunity
The distance and my confidence, no you couldn't put up with it
You left me stranded in the stars and ran into another's arms
Will you see me on the TV and be proud?
Until then, just please do not forget about
Your little astronaut who's tethered to the stars
Your little astronaut who still thinks the world could be ours
Who's sitting and watching you and her from outer space
I'll watch every part of me be replaced
And slowly, but surely, I'll be okay
I'll be okay
