  • Let's meet up far away where astronauts and gravity
    Have opened up the atmosphere
    We'll be so safe up here
    Navigating the space, we'll create our own star
    And I'll name it after you
    We'll be so calm up there, we'll fly around with the quiet air
    The sun will bring us 'round again, inhaling and orbiting
    Our great planet will fit on the tip of your thumb
    You'll say I finally see how time stops
    And everything that hurts us drops off

    I'll be what you want
    When everything is gone
    Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
    We'll be safe way up high
    Somewhere only we can find

    Hmm, I know it's safe from being called out or evaluated
    And people change on a whim, so cue the violence
    Let's go rescue a planet that's been thrown away yeah
    You'll name it after me
    'Cause after all we're only one triumphant bang away
    From resting in infinity or darkness or some brighter place
    Let's not waste one more second on caring about
    Trying to figure out what looks right
    'Cause that can't take away that you're mine

    I'll be what you want
    When everything is gone
    Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
    Somewhere only we can find
    I'll be what you want
    When everything is gone
    Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
    We'll be safe way up high
    Somewhere only we can fly

    Mine, suddenly the stars got flash lights
    The universe will make your eyes shine
    Can't you feel away that time stops?
    Everything that hurts drops off

    Now I'll be what you want
    When everything is gone
    Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
    Somewhere only we can find
    I'll be what you want
    When everything is gone
    Let the world disappear, there are places up here we can hide
    We'll be safe way up high
    Somewhere only we can find Writer/s: DAVE BASSETT, RACHEL PLATTEN
