lyrics

When I was a child I was a little stuck in my dreams
Picking flowers in the schoolyard while the other kids picked teams
And maybe I would feel a little strange and lonely sometimes
But everything was fine up in the station of my mind

They called me space cadet
And I’d go to wondrous places
Little space cadet
When I was not where I wanted to be
Space cadet, come down to earth they said
When you gonna come down?

Do you remember Philadelphia the winter that I fell for ya?
Covered all the dirty sidewalks in a glittering sheet of white
And you said I feel I’ve known you all my life, yet from a distance, mystified
Oh won’t you take me with you where you go inside your mind?

I said I’m a space cadet
I’ll take you to wondrous places
Little space cadet
And you’ll find you’re right where you want to be
I’m a wreck, over my head you said
I don’t wanna come down

And you were so enthralled with me
When I was just a mystery
Ain’t that the way it goes?

Because now it’s three years later and we’re at the grocery store
And I’m wondering how my life would be if I’d been born in ‘34
And I see your lips are moving but I cannot shut it off
Again I ran from the monotony and I only wound up lost

You say earth to space cadet
Were you even listening to a single word I said?
I need you right here with me, why are you up in your head?
And I’ll be here waiting
For when you’re gonna come down
