Lyrics ROCKET - Charlie, the Nomad

I don't wanna come back to Earth
But somethin' telling me my rocket's not gonna work
The electrons in me are grounded when I touch earth
But I don't wanna fall asleep and wake up 6-feet in dirt
I don't wanna come back to Earth
But somethin' telling me my rocket's not gonna work
The electrons in me are grounded when I touch earth
But I don't wanna fall asleep and wake up 6-feet in dirt

The crescent like a cold smile
Two-thirty eight-eight fifty-five miles
We left home was it worthwile?
We're too far to look back now
This planet has two moons, we'll stop by the second soon
Should probably book a room
I'll do that this afternoon
Is there an afternoon without a sun?
I miss its warmth and the ocean
But I bought a space heater for that
And there's a personal pool for when I'm wanting splash
I even got a robot for when I'm wanting to smash
But what's gon happen if it all falls apart and we cra-
Wait- hold up!
Time for cold feet's long gone, that's over
You don't have a home on earth now and moreover
They tried to put you down, called you a pushover
But now they respect your name you're in space, you crossed over

But I'm still here
High above the atmosphere
You can leave the planet dear
But you can't leave your inner-fears
A pioneer you made it to a new frontier
But I miss your tears
Why did they disappear?

Don't hit me with the sentimental nonsense
You ain't say a word when we were sitting in the cockpit
You ain't say a word when she was running screaming stop it
You ain't say a word when he was crying you just launched the ship
Get a grip and look at your accomplishments
You made it this far without a single compliment
You made it this far without any acknowledgement
You made it this far and you wanna abandon ship?
Well I paid to have a cruise so I ain't riding on a guilt trip
Sitting in a rocketship I made, yeah I built it
The little boy that needed parents died before my folks split
Little boy that needs you to survive, died I killed him.
I see him in the recess of my soul
The galaxy is infinite but it's so cold
I thought if I could make them proud they would know me
I thought if I could prove them wrong they would hold me

I don't wanna come back to Earth
But somethin' telling me my rocket's not gonna work
The electrons in me are grounded when I touch earth
But I don't wanna fall asleep and wake up 6-feet in dirt
I don't wanna come back to Earth
But somethin' telling me my rocket's not gonna work
The electrons in me are grounded when I touch earth
But I don't wanna fall asleep and wake up 6-feet in dirt

Gravity just let me down
But the paradox is I'm sky-bound
I wanted to show you
I'm so high above you
So why is it that I can't?
Why I can't get over you?
I don't want to let you down
But you don't know who I am now
If I could just hold you
I love you I told you
But I can't turn this ship around!
