[Verse 1]
Spaceship You left me behind
In the shadow that falls on this barren planet¹
Spaceship We were mistaken
On this breathless night I longed to hold you

[Pre-Chorus]
The feeling of seeing a falling star pulls me in like gravity
Don't touch these memories I traded my body for

[Chorus]
Break me with your hands
Call my name over and over
In a flashback, in a flashback
   I can't see anything anymore
I didn't know, I wanted to know
   Where your smile floods out from
In a black box, in a black box
   After you touched me, that tiny gap felt so distant
   I'll aim all my sorrows at the stars

[Verse 2]
Spaceship This silence is painful
Laugh if you can
At this meaningless goodbye
Spaceship I'm once again mistaken
I'll change this fate
Even if I have to use underhanded methods

[Pre-Chorus]
Even if everything disappears, I'll send my losses into orbit
There are things I don't want to forget even if I become corrupted

[Chorus]
Break me with your hands
Call my name over and over
In a flashback, in a flashback
   I can't see anything anymore
I didn't know, I wanted to know
   Where your smile floods out from
In a black box, in a black box
   After you touched me, that tiny gap felt so distant
   I'll aim all my sorrows at the stars

[Verse 3]
Extinguishing the stars one by one
It gets darker every time one fades away
Memories, friends, wishes, and you
Spaceship Take me with you
Don't leave me all alone here
Spaceship Even if I scream out all my regrets
I'll be shivering with loneliness under the night sky

[Chorus]
Kill me with your hands
Call my name over and over
In a flashback, in a flashback
   I can't see anything anymore
I didn't know, I wanted to know
   Where your tears flood out from
In a black box, in a black box
   After you touched me, that tiny gap felt so distant
   I'll aim all my sorrows at the stars
