To the Moon & 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 you to the moon and back

If you'll be (be), if you'll be my baby

I've got a ticket for a world where we belong (belong)

So would you be my baby?

You'll be my baby, you'll be

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

Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"

So, baby's go on and 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)

Just saying

I would fly you to the moon and back

If you'll be (be), if you'll be my baby

I've got a ticket for a world where we belong (belong)

So would you be my baby? Yeah

You'll be my baby, if you'll be, be my baby
