[Verse 1] And when us kids found out That the curfew bells weren't ringing We sailed away from doubt Sat underneath stars singing: [Chorus] "We could have done it all Built a rocket boys and reached her shores" But gravity has no meaning here So we fly in our sleep [Verse 2] The world seems so small
Without the lights of our cities Our brothers went to war For this life we once were living [Chorus] "We could have done it all Built a rocket boys and reached her shores" But gravity has no meaning here So we fly in our sleep [Bridge] And love will tear us apart again
