Now that she's back in the atmosphere

With drops of Jupiter in her hair

She acts like summer and walks like rain

Reminds me that there's a time to change

Since the return of her stay on the moon

She listens like spring and she talks like June

But tell me did you sail across the sun

Did you make it to the milky way

To see the lights all faded

And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star?

One without a permanent scar

And did you miss me

While you were looking for yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation

Tracing her way through the constellation

She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo

Reminds me that there's room to grow

Now that she's back in the atmosphere

I'm afraid that she might think of me as

Plain old jane told a story about a man

Who was too afraid to fly so he never did land

But tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet

Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day

And head back to the milky way

And tell me did Venus blow your mind?

Was it everything you wanted to find?

And did you miss me

While you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine, no love, pride, deep fried chicken

Your best friend always stickin’ up for you

(even when i know you're wrong)?

Can you imagine no first dance

Freeze dried romance

5 hour phone conversation

The best soy latte` that you ever had and...me?

But tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet?

Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day

And head back toward the milky way?

Tell me did you sail across the sun?

Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded

And that heaven is overrated?

Tell me did you fall for a shooting star,

One without a permanent scar?

And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself

Nanananananananananananana

And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day?

And did you fall for a shooting star?

Fall for a shooting star?

And are you lonely looking for yourself out there?
