Zoë Keating - Astronaut (A Short History of Nearly Nothing) lyrics

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 Is it enough to have some love Small enough to fit 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 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 Yes you are, my love, the astronaut Crashing in the name of science Just my luck they found 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
