Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
Before this so-called life got in the way
Eight miles high, I turn the light switch on
And laugh at all the games I used to play
[Verse 2]
I had a dream when I was seven
Secret door at the back of Heaven
I woke up the second I walked in
And over time, the dream got old and faded
And everything just gets so complicated
[Verse 3]
I watched them send the rocket up in Florida
And everybody cheered and waved goodbye
I imagined it was me up in the captains chair
Leaving laws of gravity behind
[Verse 4]
And now the weight is heavy on my shoulders
Nine to five, I am getting older
Truth be told, it really ain't that bad
And over time, the dream got old and faded
And everything just gets so complicated
[Verse 5]
Well, all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
I guess it's a little late for that right now
And I get up every morning just to punch the clock
And take the number 80 bus 'cross town
[Verse 6]
Well, I try my best not to regret it
Most the time, I just forget it
Maybe another place some other time
'Cause after all, the dream got old and faded
And everything just gets so complicated
But all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
