|----5-5-3-5-----5-5-3--------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
I’ve been watching stars, crawling out of the sky

Maybe if I'm lucky I could catch them before you

I don't think there's anymore that I haven't tabbed already,
My brother is playing the drums and it's loud and I'm about
ready to kill him.
I think this is mostly right, it's close, and there are no
other tabs, so hopefully this is good for now.
E-mail me w/questions or whatever.

| dude...this is the ONE SOCO song i do not get. I can't even come up with a theory about it. Does anyone have any idea on it at all? cause the drug one didn't really make sense to me either. It is an amazingly written song. | |

| my personal favourite song from leaving through the window. the first 10 seconds of the song are amazing with the guitar and piano mixed together. there's definitely the drug reference in the chorus but i'm not too sure what the rest of the song is about | |

| Alot of you are so simple minded.But i see a few comprehend.i"'m close to the space man movies i call my life " "calling out to the astronaut i need some of what you've got i need to be high crawling out of the world she brought calling out to the astronaut i need to be high " To me this means that he needs her to make him "high" hes got everything he wants but its not enough and hes living this empty life.And he knows she feels it to"and you are not alone " You could take this many ways.Hes calling out to someone to save him,He needs to feel again to live again.What he has just isnt enough.I think the easy way to thnk it its to say its about drugs.But really thinking about it doesnt it mean so much more?Something corporate always has hidden meanings(like much emo) its a beautiful thing.And its up to you to find the beauty,thetrue meaning.I relate so well to this song All emo fans raise ya hands ; ) | |

| I've loved SoCo for a reaaaaallly long time, and it still amazes me how they mix the guitars,piano and drums together. It all sounds so amazing. This is one of my favorite songs of this album of theirs because its calm, and so easy to fall asleep to, not that the whole album isnt, but this is by far one of the easier ones to fall asleep to. And I do agree, Konstantine, is their best song ever, even if it is about 10 minutes, still the best. | |

| Dude i love this song. i think when he sas "i need to be high" he doesnt mean drugs. He is talking about being high on life ( i know that sounds soooo gay!). He has a girl but he feels that he needs more. i love this song! it totaly rocks! i listen to this when iam feeling down. i just go and lay on the hills near my house with my head phones on and watch the airplanes go by. very relaxing song. | |

| This is definately drug related although not necessarily intentionally. I think he just means he needs to get away from this world, the hole that she kept him in. All the same it's an amazing song! | |
