[Verse 1:] You knew me better than anyone ever And I remember your very first letter We were so young and all that we wanted was more We fit each other like rebels on Harleys And I knew how to answer your body But at the speed that we drove we were bound to wash out
[Chorus :] We flew rockets to the sun Knowing we'd crash and burn And that's the risk we run When you fall in love
[Verse 2:] I could read every word you were thinking You gave me something I never was given It was heaven and hell all at once as we laughed and cried There always needs to be one that is willing To throw a rope down to someone who's slipping But sometimes you gotta know when to let it go
[Chorus :] We flew rockets to the sun Knowing we'd crash and burn And that's the risk we run When you fall in love
