"The Astronomer" Lyrics

Look a little closer
You like what you see?
The world in color
Ain't always so happy
Picket signs by the
Mom and Pop store on the highway
Got me wonderin' if maybe it's just me

So I close my blinds one more time
Pretend I'm half a world away
But that world's not enough to us
We've taken all that we're gonna take

Then again I'm just another singer from a midwest town
Tryin' to find my style before they all burn out
If the planets realign, then maybe we can find it tonight
Past the distance where my eyes can see
I'm holdin' on to the hope that something's waiting for me
And if the planets realign, then maybe we can find it tonight

Breathe a little slower
Take it all in
Without you layin' next to me
It's cold on your side of the bed.
Roll over and I swear that I could feel you
I miss your body, all 98 6 degrees.

So I close my eyes one more time
Pretend that I am not awake
Tomorrow I'm gonna get you back,
I've taken all that I'm gonna take

Then again I'm just another singer from a midwest town
Tryin' to find my style before they all burn out
If the planets realign, then maybe we can find it tonight
Past the distance where my eyes can see
I'm holdin' on to the hope that something's waiting for me
And if the planets realign, then maybe we can find it tonight

You know I doubt it
And then again I doubt myself
You know I doubt it
And then again...
You know I doubt it
And then again I doubt myself
You know I doubt it
And then again, and then again

I'm just another singer from a midwest town
Tryin' to find my style before they all burn out
If the planets realign, then maybe we can find it tonight
Past the distance where my eyes can see
I'm holdin' on to the hope that something's waiting for me
And if the planets realign, then maybe we can find it tonight
