Justin Timberlake; The Benjamin Wright Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, I wrote this song for you
Listen

Everybody's looking for the fliest thing to say (fliest thing to say)
But I just want to fly (fly away with you, you, you, you)
I don't want to be the one to alienate, yeah (alienate)
You see, I'm trying to find an alien in you (you, you, if it's cool, cool)

We can't take an airplane
Where we're going is way to high
Going where the day sky turns into night
I got the windows special tinted for the stars that get too bright
And I saved you a seat, so let's ride

Hop into my spaceship coupe
There's only room for two (Me and you)
And with the top down
We'll cruise around
Land and make love on the moon
Would you like that?

Hop into my spaceship coupe
There's only room for two (Me and you)
And with the top of you wrapped up
In my space lover cocoon

And I love it when I hear you say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Sing to me

I love it when I hear you say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Sing to me

Now everybody knows that you're from outer space (outer space)
But honey, I just want to turn out this space with you (you, you, you, you)
So drive me to your galaxy where I could play, yeah (that milky way)
And sugar I'll take my time
And show you the backseat view, view, if it's cool, cool

We can't take an airplane
Where we're going is way to high
Going where the day sky turns into night
I got the windows special tinted for the stars that get too bright
And I saved you a seat, so let's ride

Hop into my spaceship coupe
There's only room for two (Me and you)
And with the top down
We'll cruise around
Land and make love on the moon

Hop into my spaceship coupe
There's only room for two (Me and you)
And with the top of you wrapped up
In my space lover cocoon

And I love it when I hear you say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Sing to me

I love it when I hear you say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Go on and sing to me

Now break it down

Hey
This is the part
Where you and me and all of the stars collide tonight
This is the part
We take off
And then we fly far away, far away, far away

Hop into my spaceship coupe
There's only room for two (Me and you)
And with the top down
We'll cruise around
Land and make love on the moon

Hop into my spaceship coupe
There's only room for two (Me and you)
And with the top of you wrapped up
In my space lover cocoon

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Baby, can't you see all the stars?
They shine, they shine
Just for you
I said oh, yeah, yeah
Just hop into my spaceship coupe
I saved a seat for you
Right here next to me
I'm going to take you to the moon
And I'll make you say

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I love it when I hear you say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

And you love it when I make you say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Baby this is the part
Where you and me and all of the stars collide tonight
This is the part




Where we take off
And then we fly far away, far away, far away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Justin Timberlake's song Spaceship Coupe can be interpreted to depict a love that transcends beyond the limits of earth. In the lyrics, Timberlake invites his lover to join him on a journey to space where they can be alone and explore their love. The song opens with Timberlake acknowledging that everyone wants to say something fly or cool, but all he wants to do is fly away with his lover. He then reveals his desire to find an “alien” in her.


At the chorus, Timberlake emphasizes that they will ride in his spaceship coupe that only has room for two, him and her. He paints a picture of the trip to space where the day sky turns into night and the stars get too bright. He saves a seat for her and promises to show her the backseat view. The song then breaks down to a bridge where they take off into space and get lost in their love.


Overall, Spaceship Coupe is a metaphor for a deep, passionate love that takes its fullest expression in the boundless, limitless arena of outer space. In providing this scenario, Timberlake is telling his lover that their love is beyond limits of time or space, and that nothing can stand in the way of that love.
