[Verse 1]
Red dust on my boots
Gray sky in my face
Earth hangs in the glass
Like a home I can't trace
Moon on its loop
Slow circle, same pain
I tap the glass hard
Send my name through the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear me now?
I keep calling out
One small light below
But it never turns around
[Chorus]
What is this?
What is this?
I sent the signal
I sent the signal
What is this?
What is this?
Earth won't answer me
Earth won't answer me
[Verse 2]
My suit got a tear
Near the left wrist seam
I patch it with tape
And I shake off the dream
Half a blue marble
Still glowing so bright
I'm closer than ever
Still farther tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear me now?
I keep calling out
One small light below
But it never turns around
[Chorus]
What is this?
What is this?
I sent the signal
I sent the signal
What is this?
What is this?
Earth won't answer me
Earth won't answer me
[Bridge]
If you saw my flame
Would you look away?
If you heard my name
Would you let it stay?
I wave at the moon
Like it might reply
Then I laugh at the dark
And I don't know why
[Chorus]
What is this?
What is this?
I sent the signal
I sent the signal
What is this?
What is this?
Earth won't answer me
Earth won't answer me
