I grew tall overnight, I woke up one day a man
Walked back by the crib
Where we would one day raise a fam
I'd been around the world
Done all the things I can
I'm a giant now, I can't wait 'til you see how big I am
Space and time go wherever you follow
Can't waste your tomorrows
This mission Apollo
Since this time is borrowed
I'll be back tomorrow
Just look to the stars if you ever feel your heart broke
Shipwrecked on an isle about a mile outside the moon
I went to war, some Emperor Jones
I took the throne on distant shores
I grew up fast, I bumped my head
I hit the door, I jumped the porch
I upped the score
My sweet Penelope, that's for sure
I jumped the gun, I took the bait
Those sirens came and serenaded me to sleep
They whisper songs, I sang along, I've fallen deep
I took my time under the stars out of place
I was gone, I would hope that you wait
But I know that
Space and time go wherever you follow
Can't waste your tomorrows
This mission Apollo
So when time is borrowed
I'll be back tomorrow
Just look to the stars if you ever feel your heart broke
But what if I change my ways
Would you be less afraid?
Was lost, but I found my way
I needed the space to grow
If you love me, set me free
Love
(Needed the space to grow)
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Love
(Needed the space to grow)
On my face are battle scars that surely scare a child
I've been gone awhile, and I'm not so proud
If there's still some space for me
I was hoping I could fit
You said, "It's too late for that
But you should see how big she is"
'Cause space and time go whether or not you call home
Don't waste your sorrows
We'll be in Chicago
Know this time is borrowed
Don't waste my tomorrows
Go back to them stars, that was always where your heart was
But what if I change my ways
Would you be less afraid?
Was lost, but I found my way
I just needed the space to grow
If you love me, set me free
Love me, love me
(Needed the space to grow)
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Love
(Needed the space to grow)
