lyrics

Every Rocket I Crash

Back when I was 8 years old
I saw you in the field behind those
Trees your hair as black as coal.
I dreamt that night of all the wholesome
Beauty in the world arose the next day in the field I found
They'd took you to the moon.

I looked up at the sky and there it was
That yellow crescent lip.
I swore that moment I would give my
life to build a rocketship in
which to fly from here to there with
that I shouted at you longing,
"Love I'll see you soon."

We'll be together someday.
With every rocket I crash,
I'll better do what I do.
A little luck and some cash and I'll be coming for you.
With every rocket I break,
A bit more cardboard and glue,
I learn from every mistake,
I'll soon be coming for you.
I'll soon be coming for you.

In highschool I kept mainly to myself, my teachers stupefied
As I was always lost and idling every minute of the dial
thinking of the moment when I'd see you for the first time
in a half a dozen years.

When I would get home from school I'd head straight to the spare bedroom
the project was progressing smoothly, parts they sent from Syracuse had just arrived
and pretty soon I solved the last equation thereby shattering my fears.

We'll be together someday.
with every rocket I crash,
I'll better do what I do.
A little luck and some cash and I'll be coming for you.
With every rocket I break,
And the schematics redo.
I learn from every mistake.
I'll soon be coming for you.
I'll soon be coming for you.

By myself I've lived for over 40 years.
I've studied aeroengineering at the local college and by day I fix old planes,
but in the evening I no longer sleep I set ablaze a dozen little farms.

Most recently the prototype stayed on it's course and made some gains.
I'm confident impending changes will result in finally making
all my dreams come true by saving you.
We'll both be saved when I can hold you in my arms.

We'll be together someday.
with every rocket I crash,
I'll better do what I do.
A little luck and some cash and I'll be coming for you.
With every rocket I break,
Replace this circuit that screw.
I learn from every mistake, I'll soon be coming for you.
I'll be coming for you.
I'll be coming for you.
I am coming for you.
I am coming for you.
