His suitcase in hand
His journey was planned
And nothing would bend before I came along
I said I love outer space
But I'll miss your face
Guess I'll watch you trace your name across the sun
You don't know what it's like loving someone who ain't never around
No you don't know what it's like
Don't know if you're ever comin down
Chorus-
Astronaut you don't know how close you got
But now your somewhere out there somewhere
Out there somewhere
Send smoke signals to me
Cause that's how you like it
It's scary up close
Cause who really knows
If our love would grow
Or would it simply fade away
And what if it's true
That the fantasy
Is better than the reality would even be
But you don't know what it's like loving someone who ain't never around
No you don't know what it's like
Don't know if you're ever comin down
Chorus-
Astronaut you don't know how close you got
But now your somewhere out there somewhere
Out there somewhere
Send smoke signals to me
Photographs of what you see
Do you think it's right
Leaving me to sleep alone every night
Astronaut you don't know how close you got
You don't know how close you got
Chorus-
But now your somewhere out there somewhere
Out there somewhere
