Lyrics:
If I was an astronaut, I'd be floating in mid-air\\nAnd a broken heart would just belong to someone else down there\\nI would be the centre of my lonely universe\\nBut I'm only human, and I'm crashing down to earth\\n\nIf I was an astronaut, I'd have a bird's eye view\\nI'd circle 'round the world and keep on coming back to you\\nIn my floating castle, I'd rub shoulders with the stars\\nBut I'm only human, and I'm drifting in the dark\\n\nI'm up in space, man\\nUp in space, man\\nI've searched around the universe\\nBeen down some black holes\\nThere's nothing but space, man\\nAnd I want to go home\\n\nIf I was an astronaut, I'd speak to satellites\\nMy navigation systems would search for other life\\nBut I'd be up here thinking 'bout what I'd left behind\\n'Cause I'm only human with the real world on my mind\\n\nI'm up in space, man\\nUp in space, man\\nI've searched around the universe\\nBeen down some black holes\\nThere's nothing but space, man\\nAnd I want to go home\\n\nGravity keeps pulling me down\\nAs long as you're on the ground, I'll stick around\\nStick around\\nI'll stick around\\n\nI'm up in space, man\\nUp in space, man\\nI've searched around the universe\\nBeen down some black holes\\nThere's nothing but space, man, no\\nOh, I'm in the wrong place, man\\nNothing but, nothing but, nothing but space, man\\nNothing but, nothing but, nothing but space, man\\n\nI've searched around the universe\\nBeen down some black holes\\nNothing but ѕpace, man\\nAnd I wаnt to go home
