I’d fold a thousand paper cranes just to see you smile again We could build a spaceship on the weekend Fly to jupiter or mars, we’re a little stupider Than those who went up through the stars I’ll be nervous But I’m okay With the thought of being in your arms Snuggle tightly like we never have before Sellotape and pritt stick Binding our rocket ship To think that this was all because Of a silly little wish of mine Ooh… Bah dah da duh dum Ooh… Bah duh da da I’d fold a thousand paper cranes just to see your face again We can orbit the universe on the weekdays Say goodbye to this earth Is it round? Well we’ll find out I don’t know what to expect I’ll look forward To what we’ll see All the while in each other’s arms Snuggle tightly like we never have before Sellotape and pritt stick Binding our rocket ship To think that this was all because Of a silly little wish of mine But where do i start with this, I’m losing my mind But i know you will come here and save me in time Hop in the ship and which button do i switch But surely ignorance is bliss? The thrusters are on, makes it cosy inside On the back of a crane it’s a bumpy ride Which planet do I pick, I’ll let you decide Are you ready to- Where do i start with this, I’m losing my mind But i know you will come here and save me in time Hop in the ship and which button do i switch But surely ignorance is bliss? The thrusters are on, makes it cosy inside On the back of a crane it’s a bumpy ride Which planet do I pick, I’ll let you decide Are you ready to go? Hold on tight I’ll keep you safe within my own arms Snuggle tightly like we never have before Sellotape and pritt stick Binding our rocket ship To think that this was all because Of a silly little wish of mine Ooh… Bah dah da duh dum Ooh… Bah duh da da Ooh… Bah dah da duh dum Ooh… Bah duh da da dum

Lost in a cosmos shopping aisle Will the shelved starry skies lend a hand to get by? ‘Cause I know The universe it taking its time To show The naturally unnatural part of living in a fraction Of a space, of a time But it’s perfectly alright Just hold my hand, and we’ll find (wait what’ll we find?) A cosmos shopping aisle Find a way out before closing time Oh the stars in the sky sing a lullaby tonight Though your hand in mine is such a reassuring sight We’ll find a way out of this place that’s one thing I guarantee In this cosmic plane we’ll have our own shopping spree But what if, what if What if, what if What if? what if? What if? What if I?

Think of all the stories I won't even tell You don't think this is like me but my mind strays ahead On the moon… Cause you're otherworldly to me Wanna reminisce about the future Dream a lifelike fantasy The stars don't fall asleep 'cause you accent the cosmos beautifully My pillow fort of thoughts You shine right through the cloth Like a star so far away I'm not ready for this I'm still afraid of the dark If you think just like me Maybe we're children at heart Children at heart, at heart Cause all I wanna do is sit and play Leave my troubles a day away I know the news is true But growing up's too new In a world without you Think of all the stories I won't even tell You don't think this is like me but my mind strays ahead On the moon… Cause you're otherworldly to me

Although your destiny’s ephemeral It resonates within my bones My hands tell me my eyes can see A telescopic lens that shows Your wake is still ethereal involuntarily Listening to nature’s melody An enigma of thoughts This crescendo’s at fault for this symphony Of my everything Ooh… But I have to say that I can’t tell what my lips want to say It’s a disgrace to my name How my actions are misplaced You’re a mosaic of all the people you’ve loved Now it’s all in a grave Why does it always end the same? I want you to know About my bottle of emotions of bottled up emotions I know it’s tough, you think you’re never enough Though this small tiny jug’s filled with everything we’ve loved Before… It’s alright, you don’t have to hold tight Anymore, I’m sure it’s all gonna be fine You’ll find your way in this place I’m assured we’ll be okay A figment of reality That we’ll be safe, both you and me
