Port Cities - Astronaut lyrics

All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut Before the 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 But 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 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 Now the weight is heavy on my shoulders Nine to five, I'm 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 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 Well I try my best not to regret it Most of 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
