To The Moon & Back
Savage GardenThe song deals with feelings of alienation from the mainstream society and the desire to find romantic love during adolescence. It has been described as one of the band's darkest songs
She's taking her time
making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows
From the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying, "Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for
the right kind of pilot to come"
And she'll say to him
She's sayin'
"I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?"
She can't remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
All her friends
Well they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is
It's like a journey I just don't have a map for
So baby's gonna take a dive and a
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal
that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream"
She's sayin'
"I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?"
Hold on, hold on
"Mama never loved her much
And, daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for
the right kind of pilot to come"
And she'll say to him
She's sayin'
"I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?"
"I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be
