the solar panel's shining face
is smiling back on me
twisting off into the sun
it's okay to be lonely

all my missions float away
i never trained too hard
i'm so caught up in the tree of stars
falling in my backyard

she'll always be what i can't find
she'll always be where i break down
she'll always hide behind a star
i'll always dream she can't be far

i've got no houston to whine down to
i've got no protocol
gravity's so far away
wrapped on that shrinking ball

i eclipsed my memories
sleeping inside this pod
patient time will carry me
on her back without a sigh

and i won't let her down
my soul is celestial-bound
and if i'm never found
she'll always be
