Paris Ray - Astronomy Lyrics

I became a doctor so that I could stitch you up
Sewed in my heart beating but it wasn't enough
So I became a superhero and tried to save your life
But you took my cape away from me when you learned I couldn't fly

Then I became a builder so I could make you tall
Soon you were just made of stone
I was singing to a wall
And I turned into ivy
Thought maybe I'd grow on you
But my leaves weren't pretty
So you dug up my roots

And I became an astronaut so I could give you space
Thought maybe you'd love me if I went away
Thought you'd look through your telescope
And finally see me as a star
But I am just a hobby to an astronomer

Then I became your shadow stretched out on the grass
But the only time you wanted me was when it was overcast
So I turned into sunshine but then you wanted night
Think no matter what I was to you I would have been to bright

And I became an astronaut so I could give you space
Thought maybe you'd love me if I went away
Thought you'd look through your telescope
And finally see me as a star
But I am just a hobby to an astronomer

Ooooooo
Ooooooo

And I became an astronaut so I could give you space
Realized that I'm happier when I'm far away
Letting go is easy without your gravity
So I have my peace of mind and you have your astronomy
