I had this dream
where I could think clearer, closer to clearly than I do now
I was learning to read out loud
the book I used was all about solar systems
and that’s when I thought of you
I wished you could see it too
if two or three of us could put it all down
put it all down
we could be there and back
and still have time for school
more letters please,
more stuff about spaceships,
how to determine my weight on mars
how long to get there by car
if we had a week I bet we’d get half way
or lost, at least we’d get pretty far
I’m game if you are
if you and me don’t ever get back
ever get back
ever get down
cause there’s a million things to do
if two or three of us could put it all down
put it all down
we could get there and back
and still have time for school
but that’s a lot to ask for
I guess that that’s a lot to ask for
NASA’s mean, they don’t let me borrow anything
not even broken space shuttle wings
I ask ‘em nice but my phone won’t ring
I gave up so I’m in business for myself now
the rocket science kit showed me how
I’m trying harder and I’ll get it down
I’m gonna get it down to a science
and then we’ll never come back,
never come back,
never come back to here
is all we wanted to do, is to live
and if you and me don’t ever get back
ever get back
ever get down cause there’s a million things to do
if you, if you and me
if I, if I could be
