She talks while his heads in space,
Her words fade without a trace.
His mind's in orbit, far from home,
He's next to her, she feels alone.
He sends out signals she can’t trace,
Like she’s a stranger lost in space.
His eyes drift off, she's not in view,
The silence hangs like it's nothing new!
(Chorus angry tone!)
You must be an alien,
Here today then gone again.
Your body's close, your mind in space,
I lie beside a stranger's face.
I don't need love that's cold and gone,
I need someone to hold and lean on.
Not someone drifting far away,
Like an alien who is forced to stay.
She reaches out, his touch is ice,
No life comes back, no warmth, no light.
He’s here but drifting out in space,
A rocket man she can’t embrace.
She cries at night, he doesn't hear,
He stares ahead, while she disappears.
The distance grows with each passing night,
She fades away in his hollow light.
(Bridge soft tone)
No more reaching through empty air,
No more wishing you would care.
She's done with love that's never there,
Done chasing ghosts that go nowhere.
He drifts off past the great unknown,
She won’t keep living here alone.
He’s lost somewhere beyond her sky,
She lets him go and says goodbye.
(Chorus angry tone!)
You must be an alien,
Here today then gone again.
Your body's close, your mind in space,
I lie beside a stranger's face.
I don't need love that's cold and gone,
I need someone to hold and lean on.
Not someone drifting far away,
Like an alien who is forced to stay.
I don't need love that's cold and gone,
I need someone to hold and lean on.
Not someone drifting far away,
Like an alien who is forced to stay.
