Seven Astronauts

[Chorus]
Seven astronauts waving on a screen
Cleanest diagnosis the world had ever seen
And nobody knew the sky was about to break
Just a perfect picture before the ache

[Verse 1]
That rolling TV cart smelled like warm plastic and dust
I was drawing rocket ships on my textbook, full of trust
Sat in a classroom in Provo, three thousand miles away
Didn't know you could choose to just throw a life away

[Chorus]
Seven astronauts waving on a screen
Cleanest diagnosis the world had ever seen
And nobody knew the sky was about to break
Just a perfect picture before the ache

[Verse 2]
I had a map of heaven taped up on my bedroom wall
Promised myself I'd never stumble, never fall
Traced the flight path in crayon on a piece of paper thin
Didn't know the body rejects the faith you put in it

[Bridge]
The teacher rolled her sleeves up, "Watch this now," she said
A whole life pre-written inside my little head
No funhouse mirror, just my own two eyes
Staring at a future full of clear blue skies

[Chorus]
Seven astronauts waving on a screen
Cleanest diagnosis the world had ever seen
And nobody knew the sky was about to break
Just a perfect picture before the ache

[Outro]
Yeah, a perfect picture
Before the ache.
