[Verse 1]
I packed my name in a silver case
Left a dent in the kitchen tile
You stood there with that quiet face
Like you knew I'd be gone a while
Ticket folded in my back pocket
Palm full of old apartment keys
Your note read, don't you forget it
But I can hear the stars call me
[Pre-Chorus]
And my chest goes slow
Then it spins too fast
I can feel that pull
When I look back
[Chorus]
I'm leaving for space
Leave the door unlocked
I'm leaving for space
Till the world unhooks
I'm leaving for space
Don't wait at the dock
I'm leaving for space
I'm gone when I go
[Verse 2]
Moon on the hood of a borrowed ride
Mint gum and a cracked-up map
Your shadow sat on the passenger side
Like it never planned to let me back
I still taste the smoke from your goodbye
Still feel it under my skin
If I disappear in the blackest sky
Would you still know where I've been?
[Pre-Chorus]
And my chest goes slow
Then it spins too fast
I can feel that pull
When I look back
[Chorus]
I'm leaving for space
Leave the door unlocked
I'm leaving for space
Till the world unhooks
I'm leaving for space
Don't wait at the dock
I'm leaving for space
I'm gone when I go
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
If I drift too far
If I fade to white
Put my first small laugh
On the edge of night
If I call your name
From the other side
Say it soft, say it once
And let it ride
[Final Chorus]
I'm leaving for space
Leave the door unlocked
I'm leaving for space
Till the world unhooks
I'm leaving for space
Don't wait at the dock
I'm leaving for space
I'm gone when I go
I'm leaving for space
(I'm leaving for space)
I'm gone when I go
(I'm gone when I go)
