She's taking her time making up the reasons To justify all the hurt inside Guess she knows from the smile 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 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
