Dakota
A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics

She knows exactly what to do
The singer is mesmerized by the girl's charm and she is aware of what he wants when he's alone with her.

Whenever I'm alone with her
The singer is only comfortable with her when they are alone, and she can understand his every mood.

I can barely make a move
The singer is hesitant to move when he's with her, as he doesn't want to ruin the moment with a wrong gesture.

By the time she opens up her eyes
The girl can read the singer's mind before he utters his thoughts out, and he waits for her to respond.

She sings to me at night
The girl communicates with him through music and she sings to him in his dreams.

She knows exactly what to do
Reiterated here to emphasize that the girl is in complete control of the situation.

I know that she barely knows me
The singer knows that they are almost strangers and their love is new.

And I'm faking love with her
The singer is pretending to be in love with her, but he is not sure if he truly loves her.

It's like I'm singing karaoke
The singer compares singing karaoke with his feelings for her; rote, practiced and monotonous.

And I forgot the second verse
The singer forgot what comes next in his love for her, he's unclear what his future with her looks like.

But I, can make up my own words
Though uncertain about his feelings, the singer is hopeful and convinced he can figure things out on his own.

Oh Dakota, I know our love is new
The singer is acknowledging that their love is not yet developed, yet he is already quite invested in it.

I barely know ya
The relationship is in its nascent stage, and the singer is admitting he hardly knows the girl at this point.

I'm falling over you
The singer is drawn to her so much, he's almost tripping and falling for her every time he's in her presence.

It's the way you do, the things you do
The girl's unique persona is what pulls the singer to her, and it's the way she carries herself that he finds beguiling.

That make me fall in love with you
The mystique surrounding the girl is what the singer has fallen in love with.

Dakota, are you in love with me too?
The singer is unsure if his feelings are reciprocated in the same intensity by her.

She's got a little bit of money and a little bit of this
The girl is content with the simple things in life and isn't materialistic.

And it's all she needs to live
The girl needs very little to be happy and is self-sufficient.

I got a little bit of love, and a little bit of that
The singer has only a modicum of love to give the girl, and he is nervous about his ability to make her happy.

And it's all I have to give
The singer's love is the only thing he can offer her.

This time I'll try not to show, whoa
The singer is trying to hold back his emotions and play it cool with her in their next meeting.

That I am not letting go
Despite his attempts to conceal his feelings, he is not ready to give up on the relationship just yet.

I'll show ya, I'll show ya
The singer is changing his previous stance and is now determined to express his love openly to her.

And you'll know, and you'll know, I'm not letting go
The singer is telling the girl that he won't give up on their love and will try his best to make it work.

I'm in love with you, are you in love with me too?
The song ends with a plea from the singer to know if the girl reciprocates his feelings and also to be completely transparent about it.
