SPACE MAN
Sam Ryder Lyrics

If I was an astronaut, I'd be floating in mid-air
As an astronaut, I would be weightless and free from the confines of the Earth's atmosphere.

And a broken heart would just belong to someone else down there
Distance from Earth will allow me to move on from past heartbreaks and focus on exploring space.

I would be the center of my lonely universe
As an astronaut alone in space, I would be completely isolated and have only myself as company.

But I'm only human, and I'm crashing down to Earth
Despite my dreams of space exploration, I am still just a human and have limitations that will bring me back down to Earth.

If I was an astronaut, I'd have a bird's eye view
As an astronaut floating above Earth, I would have a unique perspective of the world from afar.

I'd circle 'round the world and keep on coming back to you
Despite my travels, my thoughts would still be dedicated to home and loved ones left behind.

In my floating castle, I'd rub shoulders with the stars
As an astronaut surrounded by space, I would be able to share space with the stars and celestial bodies.

But I'm only human, and I'm drifting in the dark
Despite the beauty of space, the isolation and darkness of it can be overwhelming and lonely.

I'm up in space, man
The singer is emphasizing the fact that he is currently floating in space as an astronaut.

I've searched around the universe
The singer has explored space and been witness to the vastness of the universe.

Been down some black holes
The singer has explored black holes, which are one of the most mysterious and fascinating parts of space.

There's nothing but space, man
While space is vast and full of wonders, it can also be lonely and isolating, as there is nothing else like Earth's human experience out there.

And I wanna go home
Despite the beauty of space, the singer wants to return to Earth where he can be with loved ones and feel the comforts of home.

If I was an astronaut, I'd speak to satellites
As an astronaut, the singer would be able to communicate with satellites and other technology in space.

My navigation systems would search for other life
As an astronaut, the singer would be searching for other signs of life in the universe.

But I'd be up here thinking 'bout what I left behind
Even as an astronaut exploring the wonders of space, the singer would still have thoughts and connections to the life he left behind on Earth.

Gravity keeps pulling me down
Gravity is a constant force pulling the singer down to Earth, and he must eventually return.

As long as you're on the ground, I'll stick around
The presence of loved ones on Earth makes the singer want to return and stay grounded.

Nothing but space, man, no
Despite the awe-inspiring nature of space, it can also be isolating and lonely.

Oh, I'm in the wrong place, man
Although space is amazing, it may not be the right place for the singer, who desires companionship and connection.

Nothing but, nothing but, nothing but space, man
The vastness and isolation of space can be overwhelming and lonely.

I've searched around the universe
The singer has explored space and all the wonders it has to offer.

Been down some black holes
The singer has explored some of the most mysterious and fascinating aspects of space.

Nothing but space, man
While space has many wonders, it is also true that there is nothing like the experience of being human on Earth.

And I wanna go home
The singer yearns for the familiarity and comfort of being back on Earth with loved ones.
