just like me you're afraid to go too far

i'm ready to begin, but i'm always on the outside looking in

the astronauts are calling in the sky

circling around to stay alive

and your future's in the past

and your face is always pressed against the glass looking in



*CHORUS* 

how can it be the end

with all the science in the world to breath again

how can it be the end

when your reaching for tomorrow 

but your holding yesterday in your hands



crashing on the underground again

spooning desperation from the can

and faith has come undone

in the garden you were staring at the sun

feeling numb



*CHORUS*

how can it be the end

with all the science in the world to breath again

how can it be the end

when your reaching for tomorrow 

but your holding yesterday in your hands



*BRIDGE*

and i know we've got a ways to go 

but the wheels go round' and round' 

to try to get home

and i know it feels a million miles away

i won't let you go

i'm turning around on my own

carry on now



*CHORUS*

how can it be the end

with all the science in the world to breath again

how can it be the end

when your reaching for tomorrow 

but your holding yesterday in your hands
