Astronaut

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We talked about a lapse in spirituality We talked about dealing and death We talked about the blind spots in humanity To make us feel better for it I gave him a ride to the bus stop He asked, "Do you mind if I smoke?" I laughed at his take in my moral stock And he got the joke [Verse 2] I wonder if I was more an optimist And wasn't so mentally ill Would you like me more as a polar opposite Or find something to pick apart still? Well, I love you like I love suburbia And sometimes, I guess it's alright Staying don't make me a warrior A coward, it might [Chorus] Dried-up bodega flowers Say all there is to say I'll pack up within the hour And crash at my cousin's place I didn't mean to be an asshole Maybe I was born as one I hope you keep your glasses half-full I hope you don't tell everyone I hope you don't tell everyone [Verse 3] I'm selfish as shit and concerned with perception How people would think of me now A nuance in truth removed for your protection Makes it all so one-sided and shrunk down And if you ever meet a real astronaut Afraid of walking on the moon Well, he'd understand me an awful lot and why I hurt you [Chorus] Arcades and happy hours Turned up on red Kool-Aid Don't even count or matter It's all one big mistake I didn't mean to be an asshole Maybe I was born as one I hope you keep your glasses half-full I hope you don't tell everyone I hope you don't tell everyone [Outro] I knew I had athletics to lie But didn't know I'd jump so high I knew I had athletics to lie But didn't know I'd jump so high I knew I had athletics to lie But didn't know I'd jump so high I knew I had athletics to lie But didn't know I'd jump so high
