Lyrics
You keep carnival pictures of us inside your wallet, still

How does that feel?

You see your life in paintings on the backs of your eyes at night

Isn't that right?

We could've had it all cause when the comets fall

They spark for life

I'm not an astronaut in your galaxy, I'm your oxygen mask

I'm not a bottle in your stormy sea, I'm your last life raft

You act like you don't remember that don't mean you're doing better

Cause you need me like the Earth needs gravity

You can't get rid of me

If I was a supernova would you let go, explode tonight?

Would you recognize me?

If I laid the Milky Way for us and showed you through ten telescopes?

Could you let that go?

You used to say let's build a rocket so when we grow and we can't stop it we can fly away

I'm not an astronaut in your galaxy, I'm your oxygen mask

I'm not a bottle in your stormy sea, I'm your last life raft

You act like you don't remember that don't mean you're doing better

Cause you need me like the Earth needs gravity

You can't get rid of me

[Instrumental]

I'm not an astronaut in your galaxy

I'm not a bottle in your stormy sea

You need me like the Earth needs gravity

You can't get rid of me
