lyrics

I travelled to the moon
just to get a view
just to get away
I never meant to stay
I wasn't giving up being human
I wasn't turning away from my true friends
I wasn't giving up on the loose ends
I wasn't being scared of this future

It was just a dent in my life
an attempt at a high five with myself
on the other side
I wasn't trying to proove that I'm better
than the ones remaining on the planet
I wasn't gonna stay there forever
knew it was a sure-fire dead-end

I'm coming down
crashing through the atmosphere
waiting to be reborn
waiting for a new beginning
yeah, this time it's different
it won't be another obsession

I wasn't giving up being human
I wasn't turning away from my true friends
I wasn't giving up on the loose ends
I wasn't being scared of this future

I'm coming down
crashing through the atmosphere
waiting to be reborn
waiting for a new beginning
yeah, this time it's different
it won't be another obsession
