Saw you pass from below, thought you'd come down here but it's just too far to go/ swimming out against the flow, always caught and dragged down by the undertow And all this time I can't help thinking/ what have I done?/ Realizing this is real, that I won't just wake up Easier just not to feel/ than to face these thoughts that keep crashing down on me/ can't explain what it all means/ wish I could just undo what I have seen And all this time I can't help thinking/ what have I done?/ Realizing this is real, that I won't just wake up I found a way to let it go/ disappear, disconnect from it all/ lock the doors ignore the calls/ take the time I need to get up off this floor And all this time I can't help thinking/ what have I done?/ Realizing this is real, that I won't just wake up

On and on we keep on going 'til everyone falls apart again/ I'm not one to start complaining though I'm not sure we can go on like this Lead astray/ by all the things you filled my head with/ left this way/ wishing that the sun would never rise again Ooh/ all of the things that you thought were true/ what else can I do? there's nothing left to say... Ooh/ if you were the one who had to make up my mind/ ooh/ I'd have all of the things I've tried so hard to find So this is the situation that we're all gonna have to live with/ I'm sorry for the complications, well I'll think twice before I speak my mind again When it breaks/ who's the one who has to fix it?/ this give and take/ is becoming more and more one sided Ooh/ all of the things that you thought were true/ what else can I do? there's nothing left to say... Ooh/ if you were the one who had to make up my mind/ ooh/ I'd have all of the things I've tried so hard to find Ooh/ all of the things that you thought were true/ what else can I do? there's nothing left to say... to say to you Ooh/ if you were the one who had to make up my mind/ ooh/ I'd have all of the things I've tried so hard to find

Please 01:17
Every time you try a little harder, I get pushed a little bit further/ I'm not sure if I should surrender, or if I should try to tell you that/ all the actions and words we say come back to us in different shades/ you've been walking on helping hands/ whenever I had one to lend/ but oh oh oh oh oh oh please don't say it's over now/ oh oh oh oh please don't say it's over now

It Is Time 04:51
It is time, it is time/ it is time, it is time it is time/ it is time/ it is time/ it is time It is time, it is time/ it is time, it is time it is time/ it is time/ it is time/ it is time It is time, it is time/ it is time, it is time it is time/ it is time/ it is time/ it is time it is time it is time

If there's no answer to any of the questions/ then what are we even asking for?/ why dig up the roots of all these problems/ when the tree has already grown? And after all we've found/ we're the same as we always were/ try though we may/ we can't escape these changes/ pretty soon you'll have to face/ who you really are What is it that you're trying to find?/ have you gotten any further than before?/ limited by the distance of your site/ can you imagine there being any more? And after all we've found/ we're the same as we always were/ try though we may/ we can't avoid these changes/ pretty soon you'll have to face/ what you have become

I get high when you say hello/ If I can't hide these feelings I'll let them show/ and if it does more harm than good/ I won't be surprised because you told me it would/ be that way Try to fly/ don't be shocked to hit the ground/ don't wonder why nobody ever comes around/ I never found a better solution than sitting here in quiet seclusion/ every night All I know is every time I try a little harder, you get pushed a little bit further/ I'm not sure if I should surrender, or if I should try to tell you that/ all the actions and words we say come back to us in different shades/ you've been walking on helping hands/ whenever I had one to lend/ but oh oh oh oh oh oh please don't say it's over now I know that I/ sometimes have a hard time living/ and that the sky/ is filled with stars to tell you/ just exactly who I am/ whether or not we ever can/ find our way It's up to you/ whether or not it all comes true/ your attitude/ will decide the path you choose/ and if you walked for just one minute in the shoes that I've been filling/ you'd see why (Why?) every time I try a little harder, you get pushed a little bit further/ I'm not sure if I should surrender, or if I should try to tell you that/ all the actions and words we say come back to us in different shades/ you've been walking on helping hands/ whenever I had one to lend/ but oh oh oh oh oh oh please don't say it's over now (oh why?) every time you try a little harder, I get pushed a little bit further/ I'm not sure if I should surrender, or if I should try to tell you that/ all the actions and words we say come back to us in different shades/ I've been walking on helping hands/ whenever you had one to lend/ but oh oh oh oh oh oh please don't say it's over now

about

Astronauto Valley Stream, New York

The music of Astronauto is a sound as peaceful as it is jarring. Introspective folk realism collides head on with expansive electronic dreamscapes, using on the way everything from acoustic guitars to fuzz basses, analog synths to manipulated paint cans. ... more
