Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
They're saying, mama never loved her much
And her daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
[Chorus]
She's sayin'
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby
[Verse 3]
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red than she was color blind
All her friends, well, they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
[Verse 4]
She's sayin'
Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is
It's like a journey I just don't have a map for
So baby, gonna take a dive and a
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hangin' all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
[Chorus]
Just sayin'
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby
Hold on
Hold on
[Bridge]
Mama never loved her much
And her daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
[Chorus]
Just sayin'
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby
[Outro]
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby, yeah
