Rocket Ship Lyrics by Take That

Progress

2011

When darkness filled me with expectation
Could not see things straight
Or find my angel
I was a lost soul without a road map
An out of body experience

Then you held out your hand
Like I hoped that you would
Saying not to let go
Don’t you dare let me go
Then you asked me to stay
No way, I couldn’t move
Then you held me so tight

And it’s making me better now
Almost human now
Made it up somehow
Played with my head
I’m feeling much better now
Won’t be under now
I’ve got stars over my head

I prayed for reinvention
A final resolution
Of catastrophic consequences and solution
I was a wise man without a gold star
A lonely soldier without a cold war

Then you held out your hand
Like I hoped that you would
Saying not to let go
Don’t you dare let me go
Then you asked me to stay
No way, I couldn’t move
And you held me so tight

And it’s making me better now
Almost human now
Made it up somehow
Played with my head
I’m feeling much better now
Won’t be under now
I’ve got stars over my head

I’ve got you back and in my mind
Turned the mother ship back home
Like a rocket ship in the galaxy
We were back where we belong

And I’m not afraid
(I haven’t felt quite this way for so long now)
I can’t explain anymore

I’ve got you back and in my mind
Turned the mother ship back home
Like a rocket ship in the galaxy
We were back where we belong

I’ve got you back and in my mind
Turned the mother ship back home
Like a rocket ship in the galaxy
We were back where we belong

And it’s making me better now
(I’ve got you back and in my mind)
Almost human now
(Turned the mother ship back home)
Made it up somehow
(Like a rocket ship in the galaxy)
Played with my head
(We were back where we belong)
I’m feeling much better now
(I’ve got you back and in my mind)
Won’t be under now
(Turned the mother ship back home)
I’ve got stars
(Like a rocket ship in the galaxy)
Over my head
(We were back where we belong)
