NASA
Grande Ariana Lyrics

This is one small step for woman
Taking a step back from my relationship, just like Neil Armstrong took one small step for mankind.

One giant leap for woman-kind
Realizing that it's important to prioritize my own needs in a relationship, not just my partner's, is a huge leap forward for women.

I'd rather be alone tonight
Tonight, I need to prioritize being alone instead of being with you.

You can say "I love you" through the phone tonight
I don't need you physically here to feel love and affection from you.

Really don't wanna be in your arms tonight
I don't want to be held and comforted by you tonight, I need to be alone.

I'll just use my covers to stay warm tonight
Instead of seeking warmth from you, I'll find comfort under my own covers tonight.

Think I'm better off here all alone tonight
I truly believe that being alone is better for me tonight than being with you.

Ain't no checkin' on when I get home tonight
There is no need for you to check up on me tonight, I am taking care of myself.

Just makin' sure I'm good on my own tonight
I am strong enough to take care of myself tonight and don't need to rely on anyone else.

Even though there isn't nothin' wrong tonight
There isn't anything particularly wrong with our relationship tonight, I just need some space.

Yeah, I'm just sayin', baby
I'm just being honest with you about my feelings, I'm not trying to start an argument.

I can't really miss you if I'm with you
If we spend too much time together, I won't have the chance to miss you and appreciate the time we do spend together.

And when I miss you, it'll change the way I kiss you
Taking time apart will make me appreciate you more and change the way I show affection towards you.

Baby, you know time apart is beneficial
Being apart from each other can actually strengthen our relationship in the long run.

It's like I'm the universe and you'll be N-A-S-A
I need some space to be my own universe and explore myself, while you'll be there to support me like NASA.

Give you the whole world, I'ma need space
Even though I want to give you everything, I still need to prioritize my own space and needs.

You know I'm a star; space, I'ma need space
I know I'm important and deserve my own space in the universe, just like you do.

Usually I would love it if you stay the night
Normally, I would enjoy having you here with me overnight.

I just think I'm on another page tonight
But tonight, I feel like I need something different and am on a separate page than you.

It ain't nothing wrong with saying I need me time
It's perfectly okay for me to state that I need time to myself and prioritize my own needs.

Usually I would orbit around you
Normally, I would center my world around you and put your needs before my own.

But gravity seems to be the only thing that's pulling me
But tonight, I am feeling drawn to be on my own and prioritize my own gravity and needs.

You'll be my rise and shine soon as them stars align
Once I have taken the time I need for myself, we can come back together stronger and better than ever before.

You don't wanna leave me, but I'm tryna self-discover
I know you want to be with me, but I need to focus on discovering and bettering myself on my own first.

Keep me in your orbit and you know you'll drag me under
If you keep pushing for me to be with you when I need time and space, it will eventually drag me down and negatively impact our relationship.
