When did it change?
I've always been strange, you know
What if it hurts
To be brought down to earth too slow?
Floating and weightless
There's a pebble in my spaceship
Rattle around, little earthbound stowaway
Can't get it out, can't make it go
Away in the distance
There's a world that glistens
Pretty and round, calling me down
Down down down down down down down down
Keep on waiting for stars to fall
Keep on waiting for nothing at all
Should I descend?
Do the math in my head, I say no
What if I'm wrong
Didn't carry the one, what then?
Cold and impartial, heart partially frozen
Legs hardly even working after all of the floating
Too close to the sun, too far from a sky
Crushed by the feeling just of being alive
On the surface of a body that I'd rather forget
It's a jungle, people jumble up cause and effect
From the ether all the features sorta start to connect
The other factors fall away and you just solve for x
I'd rather get complex than do guess and checks
I'd rather talk by text than become ill-expressed
I'd rather glide and fantasize about what happens next
Than drop this ship from here into a lower orbit
So before it takes me
Round the side I'll say goodbye
Tiny pinprick in the sky
I know that it's your wish and that, I truly regret
But no you really shouldn't hold your breath
Keep on waiting for stars to fall
Keep on waiting for nothing at all
