[Verse 1] I thought that life would be easier, easier than this
I thought that I'd grow fast, grow strong, not stuck

[Pre-Chorus 1] Sunlight beyond the horizon
Moonlight when it's pitch black
Hard times are sometimes good

[Chorus] Well I was gonna be an astronaut
Fly high above
And leave all fear behind
I was gonna be an astronaut
Fly high above
And leave all fear behind

[Verse 2] Whatever happened to that?
Late morning, long nights
Ooh, high hopes, long falls

[Pre-Chorus 2] But who knows?
Everyone seems lost these days
Who knows?
Am I the only one?
Hard times are sometimes good

[Chorus] Well I was gonna be an astronaut
Fly high above
And leave all fear behind
I was gonna be an astronaut
Fly high above
And leave all fear behind

[Bridge] Well I wandered onto those long lost dreams
I owe it to you to be hopeless
And I made a promise I'll keep
I will never lose hope
I will never lose hope
No, I will never lose hope

[Outro] No, I will never lose hope
I was gonna be an astronaut
Fly high above
