​astronaut

[Verse 1]
My nautical light, you burn through the sea
'Till the water got thick, took the breath out of me
August was awful, hospital rooms
You were pale as a ghost, built a rocket ship
Out of old cartons of milk

[Chorus]
You'd go on, and on and on
What if we're astronauts walkin' the moon?
Racing the clock ticking all over you
Now, what am I to do?
It's so cold up here
Did you take my gloves?
My fingers are numb
The feelings all gone

[Verse 2]
My kaleidoscope, you color the sky
When the light is low, you take me so high
Since November though, nothing seems right
When the doctor came in, the nurses all cried
As I lost my mind

[Chorus]
He went on and on and on
But we were like astronauts walkin' the moon
Racing the clock ticking all over you
Now, what am I to do?
It's so cold up here
Did you take my gloves with you?
My fingers are blue
And I'm missing you too
