My Astronaut

There's no better way to take a trip
than to fly away in your rocketship
To get away, to take some time
explore the corners of your mind

I don't need to go with you
not that you would ask
I don't need you to miss me
although it would be nice
I don't need your reasons or your why
I know you'll be fine
I just wish you would let me know
when you're coming home (if you're coming home)
should I hold out hope or should I let you go
I would just like to know, I would like to know

You blast off into the sky
No hugs, no kisses, no goodbye
From far away your life seems smaller
As you feel better you drift farther

I don't need to go with you
not that you would ask
I don't need you to miss me
although it would be nice
I don't need your reasons or your why
I know you'll be fine
I just wish you would let me know
when you're coming home (if you're coming home)
should I hold out hope or should I let you go
I would just like to know, I would like to know

After all you do and after all you see
I hope you still have a memory of me
I would like to know if you'll remember me
