Savage Garden - To The Moon And Back

I remember hearing this song for the first time somewhere around the age of 17 or 18. Actually, I saw the lyrics for it first, and I kinda liked the chorus. I was on my way home from tuition when my Zen played this song, and I'm like, wow nostalgia. I still like the 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 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 sayin,
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
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,
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars.
What a pleasant dream...

Chorus

Mama 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:

Chorus x2
