Astronaut Lyrics

Cover art for Astronaut lyrics by Beach House

I can't help but believe this song is directed to a person coming home from war/deployment. She metaphorically describes an astronaut to a soldier. Both subjects departing to a foreign place, for long periods of time. Comparing soldiers to astronauts gives it a dreamy, wistful longing. Basically saying you are somewhere so far out of reach yet I hold onto your heart for when you come back I'll be here.

"I'll be brave for a while" it's a life threatening career but I love you and I will wait for you. Its such a romantic song, I just melt.
