about

This song is about letting go of old relationships in order to move on.

lyrics

Comin’ down I’m breathin’
It hurts to dream away from you
And this space station
I’m fallin’ back to earth
Out of isolation
Into familiar thirst

I was clinging, gliding, hangtime
I lost my grip on the atmosphere
Then you made it clear
I was not holdin’
Onto this space station
It was mere debris

Spinnin’ faster, whirling dervish
Cycling closer to the ground
I turn around
Wave goodbye to Venus,
Mercury, and Mars,
And our relations

I’m not sayin’ you were wrong
or any of that
In fact you’re right
I couldn’t breathe out there
Beyond the stars
And this space station
Now I live alive
Cancel my reservation
For another ride
