Dreaming from Astro Cadet by Christian Simpson

I fall asleep

Have you ever had that kind of dream
That makes you wanna fall back asleep
Momentarily escaping from reality
Everything you want just out of reach
It can't be true, but I need to wait and see
How long can I stay, and do I ever have to leave?

I wanna go up there
That's what I wanna do
When I grow up, I wanna be
An astronaut, my dreams come true
I'd have my own space-suit
I'd go walking on the moon
But until that day I'll just dream of space
Cardboard rockets take it's place

Have you ever had that kind of dream
That makes you wanna fall back asleep
Momentarily escaping from reality
Everything you want just out of reach
It can't be true, but I need to wait and see
How long can I stay, and do I ever have to leave?

I guess I'm all grown up now
I'm no longer a child
But I've never lost that sense of awe
Gazing into the starry sky
I've done all of the research
Components in my car
I can make it there with fuel to spare
I'm gonna shoot for the stars

Stars, stars, for the stars
Stars, stars, for the stars

Have you ever had that kind of dream
That makes you wanna fall back asleep
Momentarily escaping from reality
Everything you want just out of reach
It can't be true, but I need to wait and see
How long can I stay, and do I ever have to leave?
