I wish I could stay That the wind that blows me westward would die away If I found the time to speak my mind, I'd tell you how much it hurts Please remember me I wish you would try To make sure that this won't be my last good-bye If I found the words to give the hurt, I'd tell you what's on my mind I wish I could stay All I wanna do is be there with you All I wanna do is be there with you All I wanna do is be there together with you I wanna be there together with you

You told me if I went there that I'd disappear off the face of the Earth Well, I've spent the past four years desperately clinging to Earth 'Cause I'm scared of oblivion But I can't help feeling like gravity works different for me Because it keeps pulling me out while you stand there on the ground And I wonder if I still mean as much to you as you mean to me 'Cause I know that you're still close But out in space it gets lonely sometimes Send me a sign Tell me can you see the light from my satellite I'm flying high But I'm trying to reach you I wanna know Though I'm not sitting far below back at home Am I still an earthling if I'm living interstellar I told you that I wouldn't go beyond the moon Said I'd be back soon But now I find myself drifting well beyond Saturn's rings I'm privy to your terrestrial transmissions but my experience Is lightyears away from your collective ones and the distance, it shows It seems like I'm always the first one to go and the last to return But though I may float alone I don't want to come down 'Cause I'm swimming in starlight Send me a sign Tell me can you see the light from my satellite I'm flying high But I'm trying to reach you I wanna know Even if I don't come back again, am I relevant Will I be an alien if I'm living interstellar I fear I'll never be like the rest of you, never too far from home And no matter how badly I wanna be a part of your world I'll always be what's missing Send me a sign Tell me can you see the light from my satellite I'm flying high But I'm trying to reach you I wanna know Though I'm not sitting far below back at home Am I still an earthling if I'm living interstellar Will you still love me when I'm living interstellar

You say that we can go years without speaking and it’ll be the same But when it isn’t you act so surprised Well I know the geography is challenging but even so It’s not my fault Massachusetts makes me want to die Remember that time at Camp Aoun when I tried to leave And when you stopped me I broke down and cried Well this is why: every time I hear you laughing it always seems That I’m just stuck on the outside So sometimes I wonder if you forget that I exist (Sometimes I wonder why) Yeah, there’s a reason I keep writing songs about this (Sometimes I wonder if I matter to you) You were my family but now you’re leaving me behind for pastures green (Send me a sign) And now it’s plain to see that I don’t mean as much to you as you mean to me (I'm trying to reach you) And if we could go back to the early years we’d see this was always happening (Am I still an earthling) But I don’t want to be the third to go No, this is nothing new; I’ve been feeling this way since high school When Erica told me I’d disappear off of the Earth And I tried and I tried to make this work, but nearly a decade has gone by And it still feels one-sided so I guess I overestimated what I was worth “Well why didn’t you say so? If you told us, we would have listened.” I hear you cry from the opposite shore And I reply, this has happened twice before and both of those times You made it clear that it was their problem not yours So forgive me if I think you forgot I exist (Sometimes I wonder why) Yeah, there’s a reason I keep writing songs about this (Sometimes I wonder if I matter to you) You were my family but now you’re leaving me behind for pastures green (Send me a sign) And now it’s plain to see that I don’t mean as much to you as you mean to me (I'm trying to reach you) And now I have to ask was this always just a friendship of convenience (Am I still an earthling) And am I going to be the third to go? You say you care but why am I the only one to reach out, reach out? You say we’re drifting but we could fix it if you’d only reach out, reach out You say you love me but I won’t believe it ‘till you reach out, reach out You say we’re drifting, but who is the one who let that happen? (Sometimes I wonder if I matter to you) (Sometimes I wonder why) And if you never see any more of me I don’t feel like you’d care (Send me a sign) Did our friendship die as soon as it took time or was there never anything there? (I'm trying to reach you) You are my family but I don’t mean as much to you as you mean to me (Am I still and earthling) I wish we could still be But you don’t put effort in me So I guess that makes me the third to go

Shadows streaming low In the early dying light Reminds me of a brisk New England fall Now everyone I know Is safe at home tonight Where every face is one they can recall Don't leave me behind Frozen crystal stars Drift slowly from the sky And make me miss that place that I once knew I wanna come out from the cold to a place that’s warm and bright but when I see your smiling face I realize to my dismay I’m doomed to stand out here all on my own and have it rubbed into my face how you Are happy Without me So leave me behind But look at all these stars, they’re falling from the sky They jumped too soon cause they thought they could fly And if they drift away from anyplace they know even if they’re all alone they’re never far from home (don't leave me behind)

Hello again old friend It’s been a long long while Hello again, did you miss me? It’s been a while since I missed you I still feel the hand that sowed me I still see the hole I never fit into Yeah, The pain is ever green still With every year I’ve seen it’s leaves wont fade But I’ve grown around the wound and got Some new scars all my own so it’s okay At least enough Hello again, old friend I want you to know that I’m happy where I’m planted My seeds are sewn in the home I chose Who knew a fallen tree could grow new roots And you don't tend to see my leaves here Where nothing's ever green and never gold I'll always miss the fiery colors But I've found a better place for growing old And that's enough And I stand by everything I said out of pain And no I don’t believe That anyone can change But I’ve changed Hello again, old friend I thought the storm had blown the woods away But new groves form in your rocky soil And your atoms forged my DNA And I can't erase the rings that bind To places I have been but couldn't stay And maybe what I left behind is more than blighted earth So it's okay AT least enough And I stand by everything I said out of pain And I still don’t believe That anything has changed But I’ve changed I still haven’t forgiven the ones who cut me down I don’t know I’ll ever get to that place But I’ve made my peace with the storms that bent my boughs For now it’s enough for me to say “It’s ok.”
