lyrics

I miss you all.
I'm floating through the darkness now.
I try to fall,
not landing on my feet somehow.
Every revolution complicates each try to solve.
Never resolution vindicating my resolve.

I miss you so very much.
I miss the ground you're standing on.
No purchase for a mental crutch.
No solid ground for landing on.
Darkness never leaves me, never stops its buzzing undertone.
No-one hears my screaming; I am loved but I am all alone.
I don't know how to come back to you.
I orbit now with my back to you,
pained to see the world I'll never touch.
broken up with all I loved so much.

I don't know how this can ever be OK again.
I spacewalk now, a tether to delay the end
I fear the sole solution is to cut.
and every soul in Houston just says 'but…'

But Commander, just hang on, and we will rescue you.
We've no more tools, but we will send the best to you.
We've been talking about it a long, long time.
We'll get rocket man down, and without downtime.

Well you get me down so very well that you'd
Be getting me down with no effect on altitude.
Put down the phone; I do not want to worry you.
I'm all alone, no world to say I'm sorry to.

I miss you all,
I'm floating in the starlight now.
No down to fall,
I've floated up so far somehow.
