[Intro: Tom Scott talking]
I learned some sh** about how one day the universe will expand to a point where nothing will be able to exist
[Hook: Esther Stephens]
Count down
Three two
I wonder
If I'll ever see you again
I'm about to take off
I'm leaving you
But maybe
I'll see you around somewhere, some place
I just need some space
[Verse 1: Tom Scott]
You were about to blast off
She rips out a half of her heart from her bra
When she asks
Can you bring me back some stardust
Tell her I will but she knows that I'm lying
But she laughs cause she don't want to think about the hard stuff
That's there
Just the last half
While the engine's spark up
Her arms tuck to me gets the doors to our paths shut
Do we depart and blast into limbo
Drawn hearts in the mist on the spaceship's window
Seeing planets in the shape of her face
Searching every single acre of space for someone to take her place
But there's nothing out there for me
Just balls of burning gas
And the universe of black
Thinking of turning back
Abort the mission cause I'm missing her
Questioning what I'm living for if this is all it is
Infinity don't feel that big no more
Drifting through this wasteland trying to find a way back
Hoping that she hasn't found herself another spaceman
[Hook: Esther Stephens]
And I say
Count down
Three two
I wonder
If I'll ever see you again
I'm about to take off
I'm leaving you
But maybe
I'll see you around somewhere, some place
I just need some space
[Verse 2: Tom Scott]
I wish that I could beam you up
Black holes are eating up my heart
I need your Venus love
I fiend the feeling of your skin under my space suit
I keep your picture on the ceiling in my space room to gravitate to
Like I'm the moon, you the earth
I'm the dark you the first burst of light that made my sun the centre of all my universe
The core of my planet
My law of attraction
The force that I'm trapped in
You're Eve and I'm Atom
So take my ring and let me be your Saturn
See I'm just made of matter but you're made of all that matters
I'm born from your gases
You burn, I'm your ashes
The crater of my atlas
You knock me off my axis
Now all that I can do is drift through the blackness
Trying to find a cure for my stratos
Fear that I feel as drown in this galaxy
Wishing that I could just spin this whole planet round backwards
[Hook: Esther Stephens]
Count down
Three two
I wonder
If I'll ever see you again
I'm about to take off
I'm leaving you
But maybe
I'll see you around somewhere some place
I just need some space
