lyrics

You were the son of an astronaut.
When the world told you to reach for the stars,
You had insider information,
Home-field advantage anywhere
In the whole damn solar system.
It's not fair,
You couldn't find what you needed here.

And I hope you're doing well out there

The warmth of the spring
Is a bittersweet reminder
as the X's on my calendar
draw closer every day.
And clouds filled the sky,
But you kept the rain at bay.
I know you're listening in the stillness of the wind.

And I'll keep on,
But if tomorrow was the day
We meet again I'd still say
That it's one day too long.
So for now I'll wait.
I've got a growing list
Of things I'd like to ask you;
I wanna hear what you'd think.

Cause I know that you'd have something great to say.
