Astronaut

Countdown to take off
Space suit on
With all the lights off
You could see the stars
Posters and scotch tape
Hairbrush microphone
Standing on the edge of the mattress
Mom and dad in the front row
It wasn't long ago
I was

Flying through the backyard
Now I'm flying through the years
Still singing at the top of my lungs
Screaming "how did I end up here?"
When did I fall through the clouds
Crash into the grounds
Start asking the why's and why not's
Can I go back in time
When all I had was to decide
Rockstar or astronaut

When living large was a trampoline
McDonalds on a weekday
TRL and MTV
Days never ended
No dreams were off limits
Bouncing in the space
Bright lights spelling out my name
I wasn't afraid
'Cause I was

Flying through the backyard
Now I'm flying through the years
Still singing at the top of my lungs
Screaming "how did I end up here?"
When did I fall through the clouds
Crash into the grounds
Start asking the why's and why not's
Can I go back in time
When all I had was to decide
Rockstar or astronaut
Rockstar or astronaut

Thought I'd walk on the moon
'Bout 2002
But the closest that I ever came to was

Flying through the backyard
Now I'm flying through the years
Still singing at the top of my lungs
Screaming "how did I end up here?"
When did I fall through the clouds
Crash into the grounds
Start asking the why's and why not's
Can I go back in time
When all I had was to decide
Rockstar or astronaut
Rockstar or astronaut

Countdown to take off
Space suit on
With all the lights off
You could see the stars
