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 saying I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be, if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where we belong So, would you be my baby? Ooh, ooh She can't remember a time When she felt needed If love was red then she was colour-blind All her friends 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 like a journey I just don't have a map for So baby 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) just saying I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be, if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where we belong So, would you be my baby? Mamma 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 saying I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be, if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where we belong So, would you be my baby? 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) I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be, if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where we belong So, would you be my baby?

Song Quotes * Album: Savage Garden* To The Moon and Back This was one of the first songs Daniel and I wrote together. It was a beautiful, space-like instrumental that Daniel had been working on for quite a while.
