[Intro: Tom Scott]

Yeah

I read some shit about how

One day, the universe will expand to a point where nothing will be able to exist

You know

[Chorus: Esther Stephens]

Count down

Three two

I wonder

If I'll ever see you again

I'm 'bout to take off

I'm leaving you

But maybe

I'll see you around somewhere, some place

I just need some space

[Verse 1: Tom Scott]

Yeah, we're about to blast off

She rips out a half of her heart from her bra

As she asks

"Can you bring me back some stardust?"

Tell her I will, but she knows that I'm lying

But she laughs cause she don't want to think about that hard stuff

That's there

Just a last hug

While the engines spark up

Her arms tuck to me gets the doors to our paths shut

Do we depart and blast into limbo

Drawn hearts in the mist on the spaceship's window

Seeing planets in the shape of her face

Searching every single acre of space for someone to take her place

But there's nothing out there for me, just balls of burning gas

And the universe of black, thinking of turning back

Abort the mission 'cause I'm missing her, questioning what I'm living for

If this is all it is, infinity don't feel that big no more

Drifting through this wasteland, tryna find a way back

Hoping that she hasn't found herself another spaceman

[Chorus: Esther Stephens]

And I say

Count down

Three two

I wonder

If I'll ever see you again

I'm about to take off

I'm leaving you

But maybe

I'll see you around somewhere, some place

I just need some space

[Verse 2: Tom Scott]

I wish that I could beam you up black holes are eating up

My heart, I need your Venus love, I fiend the feeling of

Your skin under my space suit, I keep your picture on

The ceiling in my space room, to gravitate to

Like I'm the Moon, you the Earth, I'm the dark, you the first

Burst of light that made my sun, the centre of my universe

The core of my planet, my law of attraction

The force that I'm trapped in, you're Eve and I'm Atom

So take my ring and let me be your Saturn

See, I'm just made of matter, but you're made of all that matters

I'm born from your gases, you burn, I'm your ashes

The crater of my atlas, you knock me off my axis

Now, all that I can do is drift through the blackness

Tryna find a cure for my stratos-fear that I feel as drown in this galaxy

Wishing that I could just spin this whole planet round backwards

[Chorus: Esther Stephens]

Count down

Three two

I wonder

If I'll ever see you again

I'm 'bout to take off

I'm leaving you

But maybe

I'll see you around somewhere some place

I just need some space
