They say it ain't complicated Any fool can understand Until the fuse is lit and It blows up in your hand
It all looks good on paper Step by step, you follow the plan In the sky watch the desperate vapor Til It blows up in your hand
Love is rocket science What comes up it must come down In burning pieces on the ground We watch it fall Maybe love is rocket science after all
Not if, but when, you crash and burn Somehow you survive But you've touched the hem of heaven For a time you felt alive
CHORUS
From the distance in the twilight Love is such a beautiful thing Dry your eyes beneath the night sky And I'll hold you, I'll hold you I'll hold you like your dream
Love is rocket science What comes up it must come down In tragic pieces on the ground It's worth it all Baby love is rocket science...
