Lyrics
In all places I reside In simultaneous time I can look back and see that The future was mine All assurance aside Another chance I abide An insatiable pride Helps me lengthen my stride I watch my step and tip toe down To see that my feet ain't on the ground I'm movin' and that's good enough for now Because I can't see anybody else around Watch out Feel that Pounding now Look down Can't be Losing ground As I float up in the sky I can see my whole life I look down and see it flash Right before my eyes Ever more I rise To incredible heights And then I get so light That I don't feel right I see that ground fly far away And turn my gaze up into space I suppose I could think of a million ways To get back down there but I think I'll stay It's kinda hard to breathe here in outer space And it really takes a toll on a beautiful face It's cold and it's dark and everything's so far But I can make a few bucks if I discover a star Nothing's new, it's all so old And I don't know what made me so bold Maybe sometimes you just need to know when to fold And when you get off the ground find something to hold My new life here doesn't look so bright Even with a hundred thousand billion stars in sight Even if I tried to shine just a little bit of light It would battle with the darkness and it'd lose the fight NASA take this chance to save me now I want to get back down there on the ground Build a rocket and shoot it up past the clouds So I can grab hold and ride it right back on down
