The rocket that sits in my garage 
It runs on hopes and dreams 
And it's bursting at the seams to get out of this town now
I've got a map of the universe and don't know where to go first
But I'll bring back a souvenir 

Here, I thought that I was sleeping with eyes closed tight 
And somehow, I'd be dreaming in broad daylight 
I have to wonder

Here I am, a hopeful rocketeer 
With space exploration gear 
There's room enough for two 
That's why I'm glad I found you here 
We'll go to Jupiter and Mars 
Far above the roads and cars 
So high up in the air 

Here, I thought that I was floating down

And sleeping with eyes closed tight 
And somehow, I'd be dreaming in broad daylight 
And when I dream about you so late at night 

That's when I dream in colour so true and bright 
That I have to wonder

Late nights spent on the avenue 
Bright lights illuminate the city view 
The air is clear and you can see for miles around 
So high above the earth's atmosphere 
Gravity can no longer hold me captive here 
When I'm awake all I think about is seeing your town 

I thought that I was hearing a symphony 
Filled with strings that played in twelve part harmony 
And everywhere I go they follow me 
Through the air they play in colour that you can see 

Here, I thought that I was sleeping with eyes closed tight 
And somehow, I'd be dreaming in broad daylight 
And when I dream about you so late at night 
That's when I dream in colour so true and bright
That I have to wonder
