[Verse 1]
I'm on a space Rocket that will launch real soon,
Where four men boarded headed for the moon.
I can still see you in that faded dress,
Standing in the doorway, ...hands on your chest.
I said "I'll be back, it's just one ride",
You forced a smile but your eyes went wide.
I turned away before the tears could start,......
Didn't know I was breaking your heart.......
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the engines roar and the sky turns black,
Ain't no road on earth that can bring me back.
Every second is slipping through my hands,
Like I never said what I should've said.
[Chorus]
And I'm flying away on a one-way flame,
Through the dark where they don't know your name.
And every mile just cuts me through,
Because I never said ......."I love you".
Now the Moon's getting closer, you are fading fast,
Now just a memory I couldn't grasp.
If I could fall, I'd fall right through,
Just to land back home and say..... "I love you".
[Verse2]
Your voice is breaking through the radio,
In the static where all the lost things go.
I swear I heard you call my name,
Or maybe it's just my guilt and pain.
My coffee cup is still by the sink,
My side of the bed is still cold I think....
I'd give this whole damn sky tonight,
Just to hold you and to make it right.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the world's so small beneath my feet,
But you're the only thing I need.
Every mile just pulls me away,
From the place my heart will stay.
[Chorus]
And I'm flying away on a one-way flame,
Through the dark where they don't know your name.
And every mile just cuts me through,
Because I never said ......"I love you".
Now the Moon's getting closer, ...you are fading fast,
Now just a memory I couldn't grasp.
If I could fall, I'd fall right through,
Just to land back home and say ..."I love you".
[Bridge] [strip back - sexy, soft and emotional peak, soft and almost spoken]
If I crash on some distant shore,
Where no one's ever love before,
I'll carve your name in every stone,
So I don't die out here alone.
And if there's a God past stars tonight,
I hope he let's my words take flight.
Carry them down through the midnight blue,
(Hold)
And whisper soft....... "He loved you".
[Chorus]
And I'm flying away on a one-way flame,
Through the dark where they don't know your name.
And every mile just cuts me through,
Because I never said "I love you".
Now the Moon's getting closer, you are fading fast,
Now just a memory I couldn't grasp.
If I could fall, I'd fall right through,
Just to land back home and say "I love you".
