lyrics

If I were an astronaut
Floating past the places I forgot
I can’t see them no more
Ya know life on earth is such a bore
Little houses on the shore

When you carried me
When you carried me home
Draped over your shoulder like the sun fading fast
When you carried me
When you carried me home
Sun over the water, the light we knew would always guide us

If I were a lonely whale
Rising up with each exhale
No one’s ever seen me
But they’re all listening
When the time comes to sleep
Will I float or sink

When you carried me
When you carried me home
Draped over your shoulder like the sun fading fast
When you carried me
When you carried me home
Sun over the water, the light we knew would always guide us, ah

Can I revolve around the moon (can I revolve around the moon)
Can I revolve around the stars if I choose to?
At the bottom of the sea (at the bottom of the sea)
Can I still feel the sun holding me?
Can I still feel the sun holding me?

When you carried me, when you carried me home
When you carried me, when you carried me home
Will you carry me, will you carry me home
Sun over the water, the light we knew would always guide us
