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
