Astronaut
Simple Plan
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Can anybody hear me Or am I talking to myself My mind is running empty In the search for someone else Who doesn't look right through me It's all just static in my head Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite? 'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut Sending SOS from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted off Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot Can I please come down, come down 'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round Can I please come down? I'm deafened by the silence Is it something that I've done I know that there are millions I can't be the only one who's so disconnected It's so different in my head Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite? 'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut Sending SOS from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted off Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot Can I please come down, come down 'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round Can I please come down? Now I lie awake and scream in a zero gravity And it's starting to weigh down on me, whoa Let's abort this mission now Can I please come down? So tonight I'm calling all astronauts All the lonely people that the world forgot If you hear my voice, come pick me up Are you out there? 'Cause you're all I've got And tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut Sending SOS from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted up Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot 'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut Sending SOS from this tiny box To the lonely people that the world forgot Are you out there? 'Cause you're all I've got Can I please come down? 'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round (Can I please come down?)
