You're like a man, alone in outer space
Cradling the earth in the palm of his hand
You orbit 'round tempted by a face
Of beauty so alive she leaves you spellbound
Even the stars seem to burn for her
What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart
And you are worlds apart
Even when she's in your arms
You say the things you know will spark her laughter
Marvel at the glow of the light it brings
But getting close is the darker matter
Forces are at work greater than you know
Even the stars seem to burn for her
What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart
And you are worlds apart
Even when she's in your arms
Round and round and round
You go in circles
Round and round and round
You go in circles
Round and round and round
You go in circles
What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart
And you are worlds apart
Even when she's in your arms
