Rewatching and realized that during Sign of the Times, we all hear her singing the lyrics and contextualize it with the knowledge that Grace is sent to space. Just stop your crying, have the time of your life; we can meet again somewhere, somewhere far away from here. But while I'm sure Eva knows in the back of her mind that Grace could be sent to space, it's a far off enough possibility that she wouldn't be thinking about it. If we really want to hear it as *her* in that moment, I think she was thinking more about her being sent to prison for the rest of her life after launch and Grace going on without her. Remember everything will be alright. We can meet again somewhere. Somewhere far away from here.

It's ok, it's just that when Grace first meets Eva she picks up the Earth beanbag from his desk & then when she leaves him the astrophage dots she tosses it back to him & then he carries it through interstellar space to ultimately give it to Rocky. And then at the same time Rocky gives Grace his waving-xenonite-Grace-figurine when they first meet, which Grace keeps with him the entire time, to ultimately send it back to Eva.
