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 the world
Where we belong
So would you be my baby?
I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for the 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 color blind
All her friends, they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
Love is like a barren place
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 the world
Where we belong
So would you be my baby?
I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for the world
Where we belong
So would you be my baby?
To The Moon And Back
