[Verse 1] Hello. I am a space case Mind begins to race Get all tied up in knots With these crazy thoughts You said, "Hold on tight" Like it was a rite I wrote your name in chalk Then the rain took the white [Pre-Chorus] Forgive me for the fall Forget me nots in bloom I still hear your call In every empty room [Chorus] We were astronauts We were astronauts Forgive, forget me nauts Forgive, forget me nauts We burned too bright Then we slipped from sight We were astronauts Forgive, forget me nauts [Verse 2] Now the station's cold And the tape runs slow Your laugh on the glass Like a window ghost I keep your old coat By the bedroom door Still reaching for your hand Like before, like before [Pre-Chorus] Forgive me for the fall Forget me nots in bloom I still hear your call In every empty room [Chorus] We were astronauts We were astronauts Forgive, forget me nauts Forgive, forget me nauts We burned too bright Then we slipped from sight We were astronauts Forgive, forget me nauts [Bridge] If the sky remembers Let it say our names Two small sparks In a paper plane I won't chase the dark I won't hold you down But I keep your light Like a ring around [Final Chorus] We were astronauts We were astronauts Forgive, forget me nauts Forgive, forget me nauts We burned too bright Then we slipped from sight We were astronauts Forgive, forget me nauts
