Story behind the song

It's a fictional account of a person on a sci-fi mission. Like a rocket man kind of thing.

Lyrics

Well no one told me of the mission that would take you from me
A new life amongst the stars alone I would be

I was frozen for the weekend defrosted on mars
My world is getting smaller since my hand slipped from yours

I woke up and yelled calling your name
light years away no cure for the pain
So I write this to you, I’ll make it through
I’ll see you all soon.

I’ve heard the kids have started school now
I’ve been gone a year
Please tell them that I miss them all
The laughter and the tears

I woke up in hell calling their names
Light years away no cure for the pain
So I write this to you 
We’ll make it through 
I’ll see you all soon.
