[Intro instrumental]
[Verse 1]
You packed a bag of maps
I brought a scratched-up grin
The whole town laughed at us
When we said we’d lift off then
We drew stars on napkins
At the diner by the road
You said the sky looks borrowed
Like it’s waiting to be owned
[Pre-Chorus]
So count me in
Count me out of here
Hands on the hatch
No fear, no fear
[Chorus]
Let's give up on the moon
You and I are future astronauts
We don’t need a silver view
We can make our own launch
Future astronauts
Future astronauts
Take my hand
We’re gone by dawn
[Interlude instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Your jacket smells like rain
My boots are full of dust
We kiss on the loading dock
Like that can turn to rust
The map keeps folding wrong
The compass shakes and lies
But when you laugh that way
I trust the whole damn sky
[Pre-Chorus]
So count me in
Count me out of here
Hands on the hatch
No fear, no fear
[Chorus]
Let's give up on the moon
You and I are future astronauts
We don’t need a silver view
We can make our own launch
Future astronauts
Future astronauts
Take my hand
We’re gone by dawn
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
If the world stays heavy
We’ll learn to leave it light
Burning little trails
Through the black-and-blue of night
No crown, no parade
Just your face in the glass
And the slow bright ache
Of never looking back
[Final Chorus]
Let's give up on the moon
You and I are future astronauts
We don’t need a silver view
We can make our own launch
Future astronauts
Future astronauts
Take my hand
We’re gone by dawn
