Is it enough to have some love
Small enough to slip inside a book
Small enough to cover with your hand

Because everyone around you wants to look

It is enough to have some love

Small enough to slip inside the cracks
The pieces don't fit together so good
With all the breaking and all the gluing back


And I am still not getting what I want
I want to touch the back of your right arm

I wish you could remind me who I was
Because every day I'm a little further off


But you are, my love, the astronaut
Flying in the face of science
I will gladly stay an afterthought

Just bring back some nice reminders

And is it getting harder to pretend

That life goes on without you in the wake
And can you see the means without the end
In the random frantic action that we take


And is it getting easy not to care
Despite the many rings around your name

It isn't funny and it isn't fair
You've traveled all this way and it's the same


But you are, my love, the astronaut
Flying in the face of science
I will gladly stay an afterthought

Just bring back some nice reminders
And I would tell them anything to see you split the evening
But as you see I do not have an awful lot to tell

Everybody's sick for something that they can find fascinating
Everyone but you and even you aren't feeling well


But you are, my love, the astronaut
Flying in the face of science
I will gladly stay an afterthought

Just bring back some nice reminders

Yes you are, my love, the astronaut

Crashing in the name of science
Just my luck they sent your upper half
It's a very nice reminder

It's a very nice reminder

And you may be acquainted with the night

But I have seen the darkness in the day
And you must know it is a terrifying sight
Because you and I are living the same way
