If I can't save you, I'm sure no one will
But I'll never hurt you if you play along
Hand me the reigns, and I'll steer us through the sunshine
There's only one problem though
I've never done this before
Never done this before
Hey there, friendly young spaceman
Are they laughing at you?
You know I can't understand why you don't get along
If you could just see that you're wonderful
They'd think you're wonderful too
I'll sit by your side and help you along
Hey, friendly young spaceman
Are you just a flash on my radar falling from space, man?
I believe in you
Are you the star that I wished upon
Or a flash on my radar?
Hey, lonely young spaceman
Are you looking for someone?
So you're still feeling lonely
You're not alone
'Cause we're all passengers here, trying to make our way home
Trying to make our way home
Hey there, friendly young spaceman
Are they laughing at you?
You know I can't understand why you don't get along
If you could just see that you're wonderful
They'd think you're wonderful too
I'll sit by your side and help you along

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
