lyrics

T-10
It’s almost time
He’s flying up into the sky

T-9
Unstoppable
It used to be impossible

Get through it, get through it
Cause this is your life
You signed up for this
Dont wanna see you cry

Get over, get over
Get over it
Cause it's time for lift off

And he’s so high
He’s never coming down
And I wanna fly with him now, ooh
But I’m on the ground
I’m home base, I’m the tin dog
While he reaches up and touches god
My man the astronaut
He’s never coming down
My man the astronaut

The pressure's on
For both of us
He takes the ship, i take the bus

We're heading home
Where we belong
And i'll try to write a song like

Do better, do better
And earn the love
It dont come cheap
You better be enough

Get higher, get high
As your standards are
He deserves a star

Cause he’s so high
He’s never coming down
And I wanna fly with him now, ooh
But I’m on the ground
I’m home base, I’m the tin dog
While he reaches up and touches god
My man the astronaut
He’s never coming down
My man the astronaut

He's never coming down
never coming down
And I cant wait, I can't wait
No I can't just sit around
Wasting time
I'll make my own ship to fly
And I cant wait, an I can't wait
No, I

I'm flying so high
I'm never coming down
Cause I'm gonna fly with him now, ooh
Right off the ground
To home base, up in the air
Just wait for me, i'll meet you there
My man the astronaut
My man the astronaut
He’s never coming down
