A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

That I don't want to forget

'Cause you're my song
My sweet home Alabama
I can sing you all night long
You're my red red wine
Learning to fly
'Cause you're my song
You're my song

I'll be your good vibration
You'll be my Penny Lane
Don't need a radio station
To dance with Mary Jane

'Cause you're my song
My sweet home Alabama
I can sing you all night long
You're my red red wine
Learning to fly
Baby we were born to run
'Cause you're my song
You're my song

Just want to hear you talk
So turn the stereo off
I want to turn you on

'Cause you're my song
My sweet home Alabama
I can sing you all night long

You're my red red wine
Learning to fly
Baby we were born to run
'Cause you're my song
You're my song

You're my song
You're my song

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A Rocket to the Moon's song "You're My Song" is a love letter to someone who has captured the singer's heart with their individuality and unique tastes. The opening lines set up the contrast between the singer and the person they are addressing - the singer grew up on the Beatles while the other person was raised on the Stones. The next line reveals that the person leans towards country music while the singer plays rock and roll. Despite these differences, the singer finds themselves drawn to this person.

The chorus of the song repeatedly declares that this person is the singer's "song". Through a series of references to iconic songs like "Sweet Home Alabama", "Learning to Fly", "Red Red Wine", and "Born to Run", the singer tells this person that they are the melody that plays constantly in their head. The verses continue with more references to classic songs and bands such as "Good Vibrations" and "Penny Lane". The bridge reveals that the singer just wants to hear the person speak, and turns the stereo off to listen exclusively to them.

"You're My Song" is a sweet and highly romantic tribute to the power of music in bringing people together. The song uses the language of music and references to classics to convey the intensity of the singer's feelings for their beloved. It also emphasizes the importance of personal taste in creating connections between people. Despite the contrast between their own and their partner's musical preferences, the singer finds themselves deeply enamored of this person.
