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, "mamma 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

chorus
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?

she can't remember a time
when she felt needed
if love was red then she was colour 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 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
just saying

chorus

(hold on... hold on...)

mamma 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
just saying

chorus twice
