about

This song has haunted me for years and most of the lyrics were already established by 2016. The covid19 lock-down period of 2020 provided an opportunity to record some music so I decided to finally nail this one down.

lyrics

Verse I
I never thought I’d give up like this
Overpowered by feelings of hopelessness
And all the people that I needed to see
Lived a thousand miles from me

Bridge
I dreamt us a home far from home

Chorus
I want to build a rocket ship
We could travel to the Moon and
If it makes you happy
Why don’t we just stay there
I want to build a rocket ship
I could take you to the Moon and
If it makes you happy
Why don’t we just live there

Verse II
I wondered why I should crumble now
Just because you took a tumble down
And all the heroes that I wanted to be
Were only heroes on my TV screen

Bridge
We’ll find us a home far from home

Chorus
I want to build a rocket ship
Want to take you to the Moon and
If it makes you happy
Why don’t we just stay there
I want to build a rocket ship
We could travel to the Moon and
If it makes you happy
Why don’t we just live there

I want to build a rocket ship
Want to take you to the Moon and
If it makes you happy
Why don’t we just stay there
I want to build a rocket ship
We could travel to the Moon and
If it makes you happy
Why don’t we just live there
