[Verse 1] Can anybody hear me? Or am I talking to myself? My mind is running empty In this search for someone else Who doesn't look right through me It's all just static in my head Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite? [Chorus] 'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut Sending S.O.S. from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted off Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot Can I please come down? (Come down) 'Cause I'm tired of driftin' around and 'round (And 'round) Can I please come down? [Verse 2] I'm deafened by the silence Is it somethin' that I've done? I know that there are millions I can't be the only one So disconnected It's so different in my head Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite? [Chorus] 'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut Sending S.O.S. from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted off Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot Can I please come down? 'Cause I'm tired of driftin' around and 'round Can I please come down? [Bridge] Now I lie awake and scream, in the zero gravity And it's starting to weigh down on me, whoa Let's abort this mission now Can I please come down? [Alternate Chorus] So tonight I'm calling all astronauts All the lonely people that the world forgot If you hear my voice, come pick me up Are you out there? 'Cause you're all I've got [Chorus] And tonight, I'm feeling like an astronaut Sending S.O.S. from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted off Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot [Outro] 'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut Sending S.O.S. from this tiny box To the lonely people that the world forgot Are you out there? 'Cause you're all I've got Can I please come down? (Please, please, please come down) 'Cause I'm tired of driftin' around and 'round (I'm tired of driftin' around) Can I please come down? (Please, please, please come down) Can I please come down? Can I please come down?
