i was bored so i wrote this as it popped into my head... believe it or not i am happy, this has nothing to do with how i feel. it is not actually about leaving earth in a rocket ship into outer space...
this is about Death. These are the (marginally poetic) thoughts of someone driving in a snow storm about to go off the road and hit a tree and die. the person they are singing about is a girl whom he never spoke to until yesterday but had seen her and liked her for a while and had a chance earlier to be with her but did not take it and now she is moving on. but they hung out the day before he dies so thats nice =-)
i am in my rocket ship
i am taking a little trip
i dont plan on being back soon
if i could i'd take you
but you are far away
even when you are near
and i am tired of chasing you
when its me you fear
so i am going to my rocket ship
i am going straight to mars
i am going away for a while
going out to the stars
and if you see a star shining bright
i am there in the night
using the solar light
to stir away my fright
because i am petrafied of life without you
conjuring in my mind what i will do
without having it to be
done a certain way
makes me scared to leave
but i cannot stay
so i am going in my rocket ship
i doubt i will come back
but if i do will your love
still be in the lack
for i cannot wait anymore
i took my time but now i'm out the door
i cannot wait for this
to escalate into our first kiss
i'm going past jupiter, going into the dark
speeding by Pluto like a speeding lark
unlike a dog i am a man
like a cripple i cant give you a hand
and i am crippled beyond my worth
so i am leaving earth
my body is useless to
what i want to do for you
and i cannot do
what you want of me
like a coward i am wrong
but now i am gone
farewell to you my love i say
i will always remember our yesterday
the stars have gone all white
and it is so cold in space at night
the red and blue violet stars
much like flashing on white cars
i now fade away into the unknown
going off so very alone
but it is better this way
since i cannot stay
i leave now in my rocket ship
to take a final trip
