    You and I talked about everything under the sun, and
    I'm not sure at what point you figured this out on your own
    So go reinvent yourself into a whole other person
    But I know you better than anyone you'll ever know

    Oh, you said that you needed space
    Go on then, astronaut
    And when you come back down to Earth
    Bet I'll be the one you call
    When you realize there's nothing out there
    But matter and emptiness
    And you let a good thing go

    You could get one of those super-white suits
    And bounce around how like my gravity isn't holding you
    And the cruelest part of it is how you tell me that you love me still (yeah)
    Like I'm supposed to wait here while you're figuring out just how you feel

    Oh yeah, you said that you needed space
    Go on then, astronaut
    And when you come back down to Earth
    Bet I'll be the one you call
    When you realize there's nothing out there
    But matter and emptiness
    And you let a good thing go
    Oh, yeah

    Oh
    I hope you find all you need, yeah
    It hurts to know that's not me 'cause

    You said that you needed space
    Go on then, astronaut
    And when you come back down to Earth
    Bet I'll be the one you call
    When you realize there's nothing out there
    But matter and emptiness
    And you let a good thing go
    Oh, yeah, yeah

    La-da-da-da-da

    Oh, da-da-da-da
