lyrics

i was always orbiting
the shadow of the earth
and I'm the only one who saw
the darkness also rises in the east
as i circled toward the west
all alone

every night in the giant sky
another star is gone
yesterday i was dying
today i am born
i'm holding out for more
now she's bringing me home

"you have got to live life
live like nobody's messing you around
you have got to bend like
bend like there is no breaking you down
you've got to love, like you'll never get hurt
even though you will"

isolation for me
has always equaled peace of mind
i go a million light years to escape
what i don't want to find
holding out for more
on my own

did a little dance of fear
at the horizon of time
i was so intoxicated by
how far i could fly out in the dark
but i don't live there anymore
now she's bringing me home

"you have got to live life
live like nobody's messing you around
you have got to bend like
bend like there is no breaking you down
you've got to love, like you'll never get hurt
even though you will"

i was so far out there your heat couldn't warm me
space is pretty cold, but a vacuum can't harm me
you pulled me out of orbit with your sense of gravity
you circled in like voyager with a secret message
from the dog star:

"you've got to go
go like nobody's messing you around
you have got to bend like
bend like there is no breaking you down
you have got to live life
got to live your own life
there's no rehearsal
and there is no other life
you've got to live it like you'll never get hurt"
