David Hodgman - NEOWISE

Isn't it obvious, hunting an obelisk
Ascending a monument to stare at a comet
Lightning bugs and satellites chilly for July,
I would have liked having you by my side
Instead I found NEOWISE out on a bridge that night,
A stranger with a telescope helped blow my mind
I saw the clear rings round Saturn and Jupiter's watchful eye,
And that tired traveller stalking me from the sky

But me, I am not out of reach
Wandering round the galaxy
No, me, I am not out of reach

Ain't it so predictable, watching the arrows go,
Sailing across the bow of a fair-weather foe
But these dangerous waters are deceitful and lawless,
Get your ship in order if you're staying afloat
You gotta trust in your ballast and study your atlas,
Know that headwinds and tailwinds, they will ebb and flow
You know the course that you chartered, it's just where you started,
And being outsmarted it's part of being in the boat

But we are out on that choppy sea,
Testing the depths of our bravery,
But we are still out on that stormy sea

Well, I jumped off that bridge, I sank that troubled ship,
Got tired of chasing things that barely exist
Always trying to tighten that white knuckle grip,
And I can't help but feel frightened when I feel it slip

Well, I jumped off that bridge, I sank that troubled ship,
Got tired of chasing things that barely exist
Always trying to tighten that white knuckle grip,
And I can't help but feel excited when I feel it slip

So I'm affixing my eyes forward so I'm not surprised,
Yeah, I'm retraining my eyes to the sky

So the next time a comet comes by,
I'm thinking of hitching a ride,
Find myself another life to fly by at night
