This life is like a movie that I'm watching here
It's blastoff and I'm feeling like a rocketeer
Moving quick, so I'm feeling like I lost a year
And I lost you, well that's awful clear
Success is a path that I'm travelling alone
Touring on the road, so I'm never home
From the show to the bar to another show
So I apologize if I never pick up my phone
I'm saying, I shouldn't be complaining
Cuz I done had some fun with a couple chicks I ain't naming
Going hard at the bar even though I ain't paying
Tryna blackout all these memories is awful draining
Yeah, and countdown's been initiated
I'm sitting here and all I'm thinking is I wish you waited
But I know you're gone I can see it in your eyes
Now it's time for blastoff, look at me up in the sky
I'm gone

Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer

My father never taught me what it meant to love
My mother only told me to get my dollars up
So I cheers with my gang at the bar and clubs
Tell them girls I'll be back I'm bout to smoke a blunt
I'm outside in the parking lot rolling up
Thinking about my life and how I'm growing up
From the slums to the hood and now I'm on the plane
Sharing laughs with a model in between the lanes
If my ex only knew she'd probably go insane
But it don't matter anymore because she walked away
So who am I to blame
If I was in her state of mind I'd probably do the same
It's only common sense
I taught her better so I guess that I'm the better man
A part of me wants to settle but I got bigger plans
First class, all I see is bigger lands
A bigger house, small circle with a bigger pen

Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a Rocketeer
Let's fly
Up, up, here we go
Where we stop nobody knows
Let's fly
Up, up, here we go
Where we stop nobody knows

Since you’ve been gone it’s been a cloudy gray
Showers in May seem to drown my day
My little Saturn V, the better half of me
And you had my heart soaring towards apogee
Stella by Starlight, first star I see tonight
Can’t light up my life like your smile just might
Wishing and praying just wouldn’t suffice
So I send by satellite every song I write…right?
So what’s it like up there? Tell me
How does it feel to be lighter than air
How’s the Earth look from the other side?
What’s if feel like to have wings and fly?
From this corner of the Cosmos, my Pale Blue Dot
The stardust in my veins still wait for take off
So I’d build a rocket ship and leave the world behind
If it meant that I could see your face one more time
