Space - Esther Stephens

Count down

Three two

I wonder

If I’ll ever see you again

I’m about to take off

I’m leaving you

But maybe

I’ll see you around somewhere, some place

I just need some space

You were about to blast off

She rips out a half of her heart from her bra

When she asks

Can you bring me back some stardust

Tell her I will but she knows that I’m lying

But she laughs cause she don’t want to think about the hard stuff

That’s there

Just the last half

While the engine’s spark up

Her arms tuck to me gets the doors to our paths shut

Do we depart and blast into limbo

Drawn hearts in the mist on the spaceship’s window

Seeing planets in the shape of her face

Searching every single acre of space for someone to take her place

But there’s nothing out there for me

Just balls of burning gas

And the universe of black

Thinking of turning back

Abort the mission cause I’m missing her

Questioning what I’m living for if this is all it is

Infinity don’t feel that big no more

Drifting through this wasteland trying to find a way back

Hoping that she hasn’t found herself another spaceman

And I say

Count down

Three two

I wonder

If I’ll ever see you again

I’m about to take off

I’m leaving you

But maybe

I’ll see you around somewhere, some place

I just need some space

I wish that I could beam you up

Black holes are eating up my heart

I need your Venus love

I fiend the feeling of your skin under my space suit

I keep your picture on the ceiling in my space room to gravitate to

Like I’m the moon, you the earth

I’m the dark you the first burst of light that made my sun the centre of all my

universe

The core of my planet

My law of attraction

The force that I’m trapped in

You’re Eve and I’m Atom

So take my ring and let me be your Saturn

See I’m just made of matter but you’re made of all that matters

I’m born from your gases

You burn, I’m your ashes

The crater of my atlas

You knock me off my axis

Now all that I can do is drift through the blackness

Trying to find a cure for my stratos

Fear that I feel as drown in this galaxy

Wishing that I could just spin this whole planet round backwards

Count down

Three two

I wonder

If I’ll ever see you again

I’m about to take off

I’m leaving you

But maybe

I’ll see you around somewhere some place

I just need some space
