lyrics

“Rocketship”
Jensen Reed & Christian Hand


Intro

It’s time to pray, I’ve been counting the years
A soul surrendered early left an ocean of tears
Nothing to say, except I’m keeping you alive
Forever 17 in our hearts and minds

Verse 1

Waking up in the morning
See the red sun rising, the warning
How long do I have to keep pretending?
I’m fine why won’t anybody listen?
It’s all quiet in the chill of the fall air
Now the darkness it lingers and stays there
In time but I’m all alone
Leading the way, the way back home you said…I’m gonna

Chorus

Find me a rocketship, fly me to the moon
Don’t wait up I’ll be back soon
Stay strong ‘cause I’m moving on
Closer to the sky than I’ve ever been before
Drifting away through the open door
I’m gone ‘cause I don’t belong

Verse 2

I’m tired of wishing on the stars at night
Falling down, now I know nothing was right
Did you ever think about all the people you’d leave?
The pain of a lost son fighting to breathe
And every time I try, I wonder why you’re by my side?
But you were lost in the downpour
And we needed more, than you to die young
I remember you said one day I’ll…

Chorus

Middle 8

Afraid of the command, waiting for the launch
Solo flight, nothing is wrong
I’m gonna put it all on the line
Watch as everyone waves goodbye

Afraid of the command, ready for the launch
Solo flight and something is wrong
Don’t wanna put it all on the line
Because we never get to press rewind

Verse 3

So now we pray, instead of counting the years
The ones that left us early ‘cause of doubting and fears
That if they stayed, in unremarkable lives
The words they would’ve said if only we tried
So far away, imagine how you’d have grown
The loves of you life, maybe kids of your own
I want a day, so we can do it again
On a cloud on your rooftop
Staring up above you said…

Chorus
