Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to look up to the stars till they considered me one
Sometimes I cry but tears they dry, I wanna fly to the sun
And meet demise, don't wanna die, just think it's time to move on
Every night and then again I think I should be reborn
See my life is a bore, see your love is a curse
And make it happy or sad, how much more is it worth?
Thought we're deeper than that
Baby, sit on my lap
And tell me every little thing I did wrong
Before you pull the trigger
[Verse 2]
Mars and Venus, just a planet away
And what we got between us
Nothing ever could change
I know you like your freedom
But can I get close to you, can I get close to you, can I?
Mars and Venus, just a planet away
And what we got between us
Nothing ever could change
I know you like your freedom
But can I get close to you, can I get close to you, can I?
[Verse 3]
You're just a hop, skip, and jump (Yeah, yeah)
One leap away (Yeah, yeah)
Reachin' out my hand (Yeah, yeah)
Girl, take this leap of faith
And I ran track way back in high school, if that makes any sense
That means I bet I swell, felt pain and train for this main event
Okay, I'm finna take off like I'm JF Kennedy, yeah
Girl, we got enemies, yeah
With our bad tendencies, yeah
Just take my hand, one step, don't you regret
Mars and the stars make you lose your breath
Spaceship feels way better than a jet
Spaceship feels way better than a jet, yeah
[Verse 4]
One leap of faith is all you need, baby
Come make a change and follow me, baby
One leap of faith is all you need, baby
Come make a change and follow me, follow me
[Verse 5]
Mars and Venus, just a planet away
And what we got between us
Nothing ever could change
I know you like your freedom
But can I get close to you, can I get close to you, can I?
Mars and Venus, just a planet away
And what we got between us
Nothing ever could change
I know you like your freedom
But can I get close to you, can I get close to you, can I?
[Verse 6]
Can I get close to you, can I get close to you, can I?
Can I get close to you, can I get close to you, can I?
Can I get close to you, can I get close to you, can I?
Can I get close to you, can I get close to you, can I?
