Savage Garden - To the Moon and Back lyrics

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 them 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 bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
(And she'll say to him)

Just saying
I would fly up 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?

She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red, then she was color blind
All her friends, well, 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
It's like a journey I just don't have a map for
So baby's gonna take a dive
And push the shift to overdrive
And send a signal that's she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
(What a pleasant dream)

Just saying
I would fly up 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 [2x]
(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)

"Mama never loved them 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 bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
(And she'll say to him)

Just saying

I would fly up 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?
[2x]
