To The Moon And Back

She's taking her time
Making up the reasons
To justify
All the hurt inside

Guess she knows from the smiles
And the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory
About the bitter one

They're saying "mama never loved her much"
And, "daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away
From human affection"

But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting
For the right kind of pilot to come
(And she'll say to him)

She's saying
I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

She can't remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red
Then she was color blind

All her friends
They've been tried for treason
And crimes that
Were never defined

She's saying
"Love is like a barren place,
And reaching out for human faith is
Like a journey I just don't have a map for"

So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
(What a pleasant dream)

She's saying
I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby

Mama never loved her much
And, daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away
From human affection

But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for
The right kind of pilot to come
(And she'll say to him)

She's saying
I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby, yeah
