Second-Hand Spacesuit

V5.5

[Verse 1] Got a second-hand spacesuit From a thrift store by the mall Zipper sticks at halfway up Helmet’s got a crack, that’s all Sticker that says “Property Of somebody brave and gone” Name tag faded, just a ghost Of letters holding on [Chorus] I walk around this tiny town in my spacesuit Neighbors pull their curtains up, trying not to stare I’m orbiting the laundromat in my spacesuit Plastic moon on the parking lot, floating in the air If I can’t leave this place I’ll dress like I’m halfway there [Verse 2] Kids ask what I’m training for I just shrug and say “you’ll see” Jumping on the sidewalk lines Counting down from 3 Groceries in zero-g In the cereal aisle I spin (woah) Catch my reflection in the glass And almost feel it fit my skin [Chorus] I walk around this tiny town in my spacesuit Old men on their front porch laugh into their hands But I keep doing slow-mo turns in my spacesuit Every cracked-up smile feels bigger than the plans If I can’t leave this place I’ll pretend I already can [Bridge] Maybe this was someone’s dream Punched in, patched up, left behind I slip into their storyline Borrow courage, borrow time (hey!) All these quiet cul-de-sacs Need a little launchpad glow Every eye that rolls at me Still looks up, still looks up, I know [Chorus] I walk around this tiny town in my spacesuit Street signs look like distant stars, blinking in the blue Yeah I keep pacing up and down in my spacesuit Till the world feels strange enough to let a wish slip through If I can’t leave this place I’ll make it feel brand new If I can’t leave this place I’ll bring the sky here too
