about

I had almost no involvement with this, why am I writing the description?
-Yeates


ugh fine :/

erm...listening to den's pretty original song I started to hear a different arrangement with brass and strings and things so I did this 

i asked den to sing it and she was nice enough to say yes and she did some nice atmospheric piano things too

-Cin


Oh, that's why I write these things.

-Yeates


:P

lyrics

Slide over here
You look like you're not going anywhere for a while
It's an understatement that it's cold in space
Besides, your smile reminds of the way
He used to smile at me

You know, I stare at the stars to pass the time
I try to hitch rides, maybe work my way back to earth
To divert the attention from this situation of mine
I bide my time, station-side
Well I need a little distraction
From this heartbreak, plan my revenge games
Let me whisper a little irony in your ear

I'm stranded, you left me stranded
All alone at the edge of space and disaster
You severed the wormhole that tied us together
Put so many lightyears between you and me and forever
And now I'm stranded, I'm stranded in space and time

Remember I didn't even wanna come here
I like the earth on my feet, I like the breeze whispering
I like the water rushing under me
It's out here that I feel like I'm drowning
In a sea of uncertainty
And I'm not where I want to be

Remember that night, when you lied
were you just passing through while I planning our lives
What the hell's the matter with you
You know I've waited here for many triple moons
You don't even remember what that means, do you?
I wish you could see how it's been
Waiting and waiting for you

I'm stranded, you left me stranded
All alone at the edge of space and disaster
You severed the wormhole that tied us together
Put so many lightyears between you and me and forever
And now I'm stranded, I'm stranded in space and time

In space and time
I wish you could how its been
Sitting at a table in some restaurant
Waiting for a cheque that's never ever gonna get picked up
While you just blast off
By yourself with who-knows-what
On the edge of oblivion
In space and time
I'm stranded in space and time
In time, in time
