Juliette Reilly - Astronaut

You keep carnival pictures of us inside your wallet, still
How does that feel?
You see our 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
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

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
