This reminds me of my friend a lot. We knew each other very well about 6 years ago, but then we fell out of touch. We started reconnecting two years ago, and at that time, she was going through some major depression and suicidal thoughts (at the time, she told me none of this, because she was afraid I might judge her). When she told me about what she was going through at that time (just half a year ago) she expressed to me that if it wasn't for me being her friend during this time, I may not even know her today. I am not trying to brag or anything of that sort, I just found these lyrics to really relate to what I went through. "And spread your wings
And you can tell them all
That it's over" Sounds a lot like whoever the song is about is not just moving or ending their relationship, but leaving Earth. Now I guess it's possible this song is about an astronaut, but it seems more likely that Birdy wrote this about someone she knew that was suicidal.
