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
