Red Dust, Empty Seat (Remastered)

[Verse 1]
Window seat on a red rock flight
All this rust
All this quiet sky
Helmet glass holds my own face twice
Talk to myself just to hear a reply

Empty chair where your bag should be
Strap still loose on the buckle beside me
Stars look close but they’re cold as steel
Funny how far you can go
Still feel

[Chorus]
I’m alone on Mars
In a crowd of stars
Got a whole new world
Got an old cracked heart
Footprints fade in the dust so fast
But your name in my head
It’s built to last
Yeah I made it far
But I lost my spark
Got a window full of space and a cabin full of dark
I’m alone on Mars
Alone on Mars
With an empty seat where you are (oh)

[Verse 2]
Rover tracks in a crooked line
Chasing ghosts of a different life
Sending jokes through a ten‑minute lag
Laugh hits late
By then I’m back

Coffee steam in a plastic cup
Earthrise small
I just watch it come up
Radio hum
Then the static drops
Only thing talking is my own thoughts

[Chorus]
I’m alone on Mars
In a crowd of stars
Got a whole new world
Got an old cracked heart
Footprints fade in the dust so fast
But your name in my head
It’s built to last
Yeah I made it far
But I lost my spark
Got a window full of space and a cabin full of dark
I’m alone on Mars
Alone on Mars
With an empty seat where you are (yeah, where you are)

[Bridge]
If I find life out here someday
I’ll ask it how to make you stay
’Cause every sunset burns in red
Still can’t match the words you said

[Chorus]
I’m alone on Mars
In a crowd of stars
Got a whole new world
Got an old cracked heart
Footprints fade in the dust so fast
But your name in my head
It’s built to last
Yeah I made it far
Now I trace that scar
From the launch pad nights to this distant scarlet yard
I’m alone on Mars
Alone on Mars
And every mile just proves how far you are
