Rachel Platten - Astronauts Lyrics






Let's meet up far away
Where astronauts and gravity
Have opened up the atmosphere
We'll be so safe up here
Navigating the space, we'll create our own star
And I'll name it after you
We'll be so calm up there, we'll fly around with the quiet air
The sun will bring us 'round again, inhaling and orbiting
Our great planet will fit on the tip of your thumb
You'll say I finally see how time stops
And everything that hurts us drops off

I'll be what you want when everything is gone
Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
We'll be safe way up high
Somewhere only we can find

And no one's safe from being called out or evaluated
And people change on a whim, so cue the violins
Let's go rescue a planet who's been thrown away
You'll name it after me
Cause after all we're only one triumphant bang away
From resting in infinity or darkness or some brighter place
Let's not waste one more second on caring about
Trying to figure out what looks right
Cause that can't take away that you're mine

I'll be what you want when everything is gone
Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
Somewhere only we can find
I'll be what you want when everything is gone
Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
We'll be safe way up high
Somewhere only we can find

Mine, suddenly the stars are flash lights
Universe will make your eyes shine
Can't you feel the way that time stops?
Everything that hurts drops off

Now I'll be what you want when everything is gone
Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
Somewhere only we can find
I'll be what you want when everything is gone
Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
We'll be safe way up high
Somewhere only we can find

  1. A.... G....

    All of your songs is very nice

  2. C.... L....

    Let's go rescue a planet that's been thrown away...

    Me: Pluto!

  3. e.... ....

    This song is for when we meet again after death. It's a fair exchange for letting go of this world, I think. After letting go of new experiences and the weird beauty of heartbreak and what it feels like to change my mind, I'll finally be given the chance to be someone who doesn't have to let go of you. Beautiful, wonderful you. In this perfect afterlife world where choices are erased and everything happens all at once... in this world where I can't hurt you, everything will be forgiven. I will see your smile again. I want so badly to erase the pain I've left you with that I sometimes forget why I don't want to forget you, but I remember now, listening to this incredible song. You are irreplaceable. Precious to me forever. Like we said, when we die we can finally find out whose spirit is taller. I'll be waiting with a measuring stick, Phoenix.

  4. C.... W....

    Beautiful song.

  5. R.... T....

    2019 anyone?

  6. S.... t....

    This song is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

    S.... t....

    and i think i broke the replay button! XD

  7. M.... B....

    1:17 Teehee "cue the violence" made me giggle. It's "cue the violins" dear. :'D

    M.... B....

    It's not actually

    M.... B....

    She's talking about how us as humans change and have thrown away our planet. It's definitely violence. Not violins

  8. x.... ....

    This song is for when we meet again after death. Then nothing will get in our way. It'll be just empty space, all cleared out to make room for the truth. No judging eyes, no time, no pressure, just us. Safe. Quiet enough for me to hear your thoughts. You can be as you were that day, put on your favorite songs and dance and smile like you used to. You don't have to be scared that someone will see. You won't have to be scared you'll do something wrong. The worry and uncertainty will be cleaned from your mind, and you'll never ever cry again. That's my heaven, Niya. Maybe I'll change my mind someday, but right now, I just want that. I think it'll exist. I think my afterlife will split into pieces for every pure ending I ever believed in. There has to be some place we can be together like we wanted, somewhere empty of distraction, empty of anything else, all these vivid possibilities blotted out to make room for this one thing, to let it just be everything there is. I hope you meet me there.
