Astronaut from Long Division by Jason David Tanner

If you wait
If you wait for me to go
I can only hope
That you would come to

If you’ll stop
If you’ll stop and listen
I’ll convince you that my pain is real

If you talk
If you talk me to death
I can only wish that you were not here

If you hope
If you hope for me just once
I would break down in fear

And If I hope I could be
An astronaut
You would suffer for a long time
And If I hope I could be
An astronaut
You would make me suffer for a long time

If you teach
If you teach me how to hate
I can only lock the door behind me

If I run
If I run out of rocket fuel
You would only shoot me down

And If I hope I could be
An astronaut
You would suffer for a long time
And If I hope I could be
An astronaut
You would make me suffer for a long time

If you lead
If you lead me to ruin
Don’t look back for me to follow you

If you dance
If you dance upon my grave
Only flowers will grow around your feet

And If I hope I could be
An astronaut
You would suffer for a long time
And If I hope I could be
An astronaut
You would make me suffer for a long time
For a long time
