[Verse 1 | Spoken] I was halfway through a two A.M. breakfast When you walked into the restaurant You had silver and black headgear on. Not typical dress at a Waffle House You said, “Mind if I sit here?” Like you’d done it every day And I said, “Sure, if you’re real” You just laughed and looked away [Pre-Chorus ] You knew my name Before I even said it You said, “Relax I'm not checking eye dees” [Chorus] It felt perfectly natural Perfectly natural You were a space traveler And I was not afraid Deep knowledge in your eyes Like you’d seen things impossible from here But it seemed perfectly natural When the alien said my name [Verse 2] You asked if I still dream big I said, “I’m trying to” You said, “Good, that keeps you thinking Beyond what your people all know. You said home is what you carry in your head Not the place that holds your shoes And the road keeps every lesson Even if it confuses you [Pre-Chorus] You tapped the table Said, “Look around you” “Every little thing here Is older than you can imagine” [Chorus] It felt perfectly natural Perfectly natural You were a space traveler And I was not afraid Deep knowledge in your eyes Like you’d seen things impossible from here But it seemed perfectly natural When the alien said my name [Bridge] You said, “Never again Means you learned it once” Then you smiled like a tide line Under a patient moon above “And perfect is a doorway Not a place to stay” Then you stood, left a folded napkin And vanished from where you came [Chorus] It felt perfectly natural Perfectly natural You were a space traveler And I was not afraid (no) Deep knowledge in your eyes Like you’d seen things impossible from here But it seemed perfectly natural When the alien said my name (I'll be back tomorrow, will you?)
