You’re a stick in the mud, and I say that because
Of everything that you said to me, said to me
I’ve been thinking about every word out your mouth
And how they just don’t make sense to me, sense to me
You tell me to stay, you only get in my way
I don’t think I can grow in this tiny house
Never thought of myself because you needed the help
I think it’s about time that I make it out
So, spaceman
Take me somewhere I’m not
Take me somewhere I want to be, want to be
I’ve been looking up at the stars
Thinking that’s where I’ve got to be, got to be
I’ve got reasons to stay, but none of them can outweigh
They way I feel when I see the ships taking flight
This old planet of stone, it never felt like a home
Been looking out my window all through the night
They say I’ve got what it takes, they tell me how much I’ll make
All I need is the Earth in my rearview mirror
I’ll send you money and notes, I’ll tell you my anecdotes
I’ll tell a lie and say I just wish you were here
So, spaceman
Take me somewhere I’m not
Take me somewhere I want to be, want to be
I’ve been looking up at the stars
Thinking that’s where I’ve got to be, got to be
Spaceman
Make me someone I’m not
Give me a chance, and I’ll see it through, see it through
I’ve been trying to make up my mind
Thinking, do I want to leave, and I really do
I do, I do, I do, I
Do I, do I, do I?
I do, I do, I do, I
Do I, do I, do I?
And do I stay, or do I go
And do I take you with me
Will you feed the cats, will you mow the grass
Will you still raise the baby?
I do, I do, I do, I
Do I, do I, do I?
When the engines fire, will you stay inside
Your hands all tired and shaky?
Spaceman
Take me somewhere I’m not
Take me somewhere I want to be, want to be
