I wake up like a comet
Dizzy form the re-entry
And I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Do the dishes make the bed
Do the math inside my head
But it still comes out ones and zeros

So I took a look and noticed that your rocket wasn't tucked inside my bubble
This morning
Put my helmet on and took a deep breath of your super-precious oxygen
And walked around the launch pad

I can't believe
I can't believe
That nothing's gunna happen
That nothing's gunna happen here
I can't believe
I can't believe
The chances are lookin
The chances are lookin slim this year

Watch the count-down go from T minus something to whatever comes after that
And thought about the way
The super-nova shines like the colors in your hair and I'm sorry that I'm not there
But this is for the good of the universe

I looked down and see the world get smaller as I get a little colder
As I reach for the satellite phone
Gotta tell ya baby
Space is the place
But it's never gunna be home
cuz you're not there

(chorus)

I wake up like a comet
Dizzy from the re-entry
And I'm on fire
I'm on fire
