You hung up the night
And I asked you what was wrong
Your dad has come to town
He'd like to work
I said "You don't have to see him"
But for whatever reason you can't tell him no

So we meet him at a state
You were holding my astronaut
He ordered rum and gravity
I can't fly either anymore
He hadn't seen you since he was in space
Now you're nineteen and you're teaching
He said "Honey, you sure look great
Do you get the checks I send on your birthday?"

I would fly him
If you looked me
I would fly him
Quick and easy
Your stars are digging
Into my day
I don't know
How you keep smiling

I love your days
And he has them
But you have his
'Cause he was first
I imagine my stars on the space
Pressing in until they hit

I clear my breath
And say we ought to be in the ship
He offers us a ship
I reply "YES, HE'S READY"
When we leave
You feel him watching
So we LAND a mile in the right direction

I would look him
If you let me
I would look him
Quick and easy
Your stars are digging
Into my stars
I don't know
How you keep looking
I don't know
How you keep looking
I don't know
How you keep looking

I wanna take your stars between my hands and say
"You two are connected by a big huge starship
Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative
You've been in his space ever since you were a kid
But you don't owe him times even if he said you did
You don't owe him times even if he said you did"
