Jason Mraz Lyrics

Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Jason Mraz's song 'Rocket Man' is a tribute to Sir Elton John's song with the same title, and Mraz interpreted Elton John's song to create his own story about an astronaut longing to return home. The astronaut feels high as a kite due to his excitement and anticipation to return home, but he also has an intense feeling of homesickness. He misses his wife and the earth, and feels lonely on this timeless space flight.
The lyrics "I think it's gonna be a long long time/Till touch down brings me round again to find/I'm not the man they think I am at home/Oh no no no I'm a rocket man/Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone" highlight the singer's isolation from society and his loved ones. He feels like an entirely different person in space, and his identity has changed completely. He's become a mere 'Rocket Man' burning out his fuse alone with nobody to share his feelings with.
Overall, Jason Mraz's interpretation of 'Rocket Man' is a sad but beautiful depiction of an astronaut's separation from his family and his life on earth. The song manages to capture the emotions and loneliness of an astronaut in space, and the challenges of living in isolation from the rest of humanity.

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
His bags were packed ahead of his launch into space
Zero hour nine a.m.
His launch time is 9am
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
He will be in high spirits by the time he launches into space
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
He already misses his wife and planet Earth
It's lonely out in space
Being in space is lonely
On such a timeless flight
Traveling at such a long distance feels like time is standing still
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
He fears he may be in space for a long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
He won't be back on Earth for a long while
I'm not the man they think I am at home
He's different from the persona he presents on Earth
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
He is a man sent on a rocket into space
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
He is using up all his resources being alone in space
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
Mars isn't suitable for parenting
In fact it's cold as hell
Mars is extremely cold
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
There are no other humans on Mars to help raise kids
And all this science I don't understand
The science behind space travel is beyond his comprehension
It's just my job five days a week
For him, space travel is just a job
A rocket man, a rocket man
He is a man sent on a rocket into space

Been a fan for about 10 years. This is the reason I still am! Jason's voice is perfection
@gerberfamify
This song was the FIRST song I ever heard Jason sing - completley acapella before he even signed his first record deal. From the moment this talented young man started signing, I knew..... He opened for someone.....I can't remember who and I didn't even care if the main show ever came on stage. I wanted to listen to him all night. He is so incredibly talented!
@amandafeliciano542
I mean...just....damn. Been listening to this cover since he did it back in the early 2000s...still sounds perfect. Damn J, you'll always be the man. :)
@imeemonique4090
Each of his cover makes me admire him even more as an artist 😩
@poptemporanea
I got goosebumps. Stunning! Cheers from Argentina!
@scottslater7704
