lyrics

Closer

Through the days and through the nights
We can be everlasting
We’ve returned from black and white
Say goodbye to the constellations
We’ve been up here for a thousand years, weightless and alone
Mission control can you hear us now, we’re ready to come home

We’re getting closer
Can you see the sun burns brighter every day?
We’re getting closer
Even though the stars are begging us to stay

Breathe it in
One last chance to feel the ether fill your lungs
Where we’ve been
I don’t even care if they believe us
Let’s just show them the photographs we took behind the stars
They’re just jealous they’re stuck on earth with gravity and cars

If I had another chance you know I wouldn’t change a thing
If I had another chance I’d still give her everything
If I had another chance you know that I’d still leave my home
