I'm all buckled up in my ten-ton rocket.
I've got your picture in my spacesuit pocket.
I hope that I don't explode...
I didn't think that I'd leave Earth this soon,
I'd rather be spending more time with you.
But there's something I want you to know:

One trip around the sun.
One more and I'll be done.

When I come back home I'll give you a spacesuit
And we'll head up over the clouds, just me and you.
My cabin walls start to shake.
Time to double check all the gauges in here.
Don't want to die up in the atmosphere.
The laws of physics will break.

Hold my hand, we're gonna blow this place.
We're going to take a chance out in outer space.
We'll leave the world behind, we'll leave the world behind.

I dream about how you and I will one day get together and we'll plan our big escape.
We'll start a home out on Mars.
Alien babies are the hot new trend.
I guess we'll have to have twenty five of them.
Nothing will keep us apart.

Hold my hand, we're gonna blow this place.
We're going to take a chance out in outer space.
We'll leave the world behind, we'll leave the world behind.

The G forces start to pull my face apart, and all I see are stars.

There's so many things to say, but the ink floats off the page.
And the rocket has no phone. I can't wait until I get home to you.

Hold my hand, we're gonna blow this place.
We're going to take a chance out in outer space.
We'll leave the world behind, we'll leave the world behind
