about

Social anxiety....In space

major props to Mitchell and Taylor for arranging the vox parts
Josh for his shimmering guitar, and Alyssa for her samples and background vox

I'm so proud of this track, and I love the work my friends put in on it

lyrics

Loneliness, like gravity
Has kept me pinned to this barstool the whole night
A nervous joke, self deprecation
You laugh but you don't read between the lines

All systems go approaching lift off
Heading into space
Obliterate these feelings til they're gone without a trace

Chorus: And I was barely a blip on your radar
The smallest particle in your orbit
You'll need a telescope to find me this far out

and I don't know if I'm gonna make it
I'm trading whiskey for a spaceship
You'll need a telescope to find me this far out

This far out

Did I make, an impression?
As distant as the footprints on the moon
I'm standing up, but I'm walking backwards
and I just can't find my footing in this room

I second guess myself until I've fallen out of touch
A small step or a giant leap, it doesn't matter much

Repeat chorus

I feel the weight of time is mounting, 29 light years and counting
You'll need a telescope to find me this far out

This far out

repeat chorus and 29 light years line

I wrote this song in letters
So small you cannot read them
You'll need a microscope to find me this far down.......
