Lyrics

My name’s Jamie, I’m a pretty good guy.
Y’ask me how I’m doin’ I'll tell you I’m doin’ alright.
I got a job but I don’t like to go.
I don’t tell you nothin’ you don’t know.
O, and I wanted to be an astronaut,
I wanna do everything that I have not,
And I wish I could see how small we really are.

Yes, and I used to love her, I used to let her know,
But I guess I let it slide a couple years ago.
Now it feels like we’re livin’ in a ring;
We fight about just about everything.
O, and if I was an astronaut
Me and the problems that I got,
I could see how small we really are.

How small we are! How small and hardly at all we are!
How small we are! How small and not really at all we are!
And if I was an astronaut, me and the problems that I got,
I could see how small we really are.

How small we are.
How small we are.

We got a son in the middle and he just turned 4 -
He’s the only reason that we’re not divorced.
One night he asked, why a couch was a bed?
And so I sat him down and I said:
I said, kid, if you were an astronaut,
you could see what I cannot
‘Cause you could see how small we really are.

How small we are! How small and hardly at all we are!
How small we are! How small and not really at all we are!
And if I was an astronaut, me and the problems that I got,
I could see how small we really are.
