Astronaut - Port Cities

All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut

Before the so called life got in the way

8 miles high, I turned the light switch on

Laugh at all the games I use to play

But I had a dream when I was seven

Secret door at the back of heaven

I woke up the second I walked in

And over time the dream got old and faded

And everything just gets so complicated

I watched them send the rocket up in florida

And everybody cheered and waved goodbye

I imagined it was me up in the captains chair

Leaving laws of gravity behind

Now the weight is heavy on my sholders

Nine to five I’mgetting older

Truth be told it really aint that bad

And over time the dream got old and faded

And everthing just gets so complicated

Instrumental

Well All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut

I guess its a little late for that right now

And i get up every morning just to punch the clock

And take the number 8 bus 'cross town

Well I try my best not to regret it

Most of the time I just forget it

Maybe another place some other time

Cause after all the dream got old and faded

And everything just gets so complicated

But all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut
