Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your face ignites a fuse to my patience

Whatever you do, it's gonna be wrong

There's no time to interrupt the detonation

Be good to me before you're gone

When I met you, I was fine with my nothing

I grew with you and now I've changed

What I've become is something I can't be without your loving

Be good to me, it isn't a game

[PreChorus]

Now let me see, it's you and me, forgive, good God

How do you suppose that we'll survive?

Come on, that's right, left, right

Make lighter of all the heavier

[Chorus]

'Cause you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

[Bridge]

When you resist me, hon', I cease to exist

Because I only like the way I look when looking through your eyes

And when you come back

You commemorate the penetration of the sun into the deep, dark sky

[PreChorus]

Now let me see, it's you and me, forgive, good God

How do you suppose that we'll survive?

Come on, that's right, left right

Make lighter of all the heavier

[Chorus]

'Cause you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

[PostChorus]

Start it, start it off, start it off

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start it off now

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start it, start it

Start it, start it

[Chorus]

You and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

[PostChorus]

Start it, start it off, start it off

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start it off now

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start it, start it

Start it, start it

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start it off now

Start it off, start it off, start it off, baby

Start it off, start it off, start, start, start, start

[Outro]

Now we'll be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off

Oh, you and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts

Except with way more gravity than when we started off
