about

This song explores a budding love between two astronauts together in a small space, sailing through space.

lyrics

We broke the atmosphere an hour ago

The earth is falling fast below

I look over at you, you’ve got the same look too

I wonder will it be like this, two astronauts who long to kiss?

We are sailing across the stars across the sky

We are together, you and I, could we find love?

We are sailing across the stars across the moon

So close together in this room, could we find love?

We are sailing



Sometimes we let ourselves go floating free

And you come swimming up to me

We look down at the earth, so full of joy and hurt

And wonder if we shouldn’t stay
, here on our own, out of the fray

Sailing across the stars across the sky

We are together, you and I, and we found love

We are sailing across the stars across the moon

So close together in this room and we found love 

We are sailing 



And if we have to fix the satellite

I think we’ll get it right 

I had a dream last night



One day we’ll fly back home through all the clouds

Splash down at sea and look around

Take our first breath of air while we are lying there

I’ll wrap my arms around your chest

And go outside to greet the press

Sailing across the stars across the sky

We are together, you and I, and we found love

We are sailing across the stars across the moon

So close together in this room and we found love 

We are sailing
