The Script Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I made a snap decision
I'm gonna find another earth
And start my own religion
Yeah, I'm shooting through space
Where there ain't no division
I'm gonna see some shapes
You won't see on the television, no, no, ooh-oh, oh
The countdown started on the day we parted
Leaving you is hardest
Till the song kickin' in and I'm ready to go
I've got my moon boots on
Yeah, I'm a man on a mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye
Gonna cut off all transmission, yeah
I've got my moon boots on
Yeah, I'm a man on a mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye
Gonna cut off all transmission, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm in a far off place
That's stranger than a distant land
I cut my parachute off
Oh, to see if I could stand
I'm headed for a great new world
Somewhere where there ain't no fears
It's gonna look and sound the same
Only difference is that you're not here
You're not here, no
The countdown started on the day we parted
I've been brokenhearted
Till the song kickin in and I'm ready to go
I've got my moon boots on
Yeah, I'm a man on a mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye
Gonna cut off all transmission
I've got my moon boots on
Yeah, I'm a man on a mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye
Gonna cut off all transmission, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah [x3]
She said why [x4]
She said why you always getting out your face, boy
She said, you're never happy while you're livin' in this place, boy
She said, why you always leaving us behind, boy
You're always, Why you always out of your mind
I've got my moon boots on
Yeah, I'm a man on a mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye
Gonna cut off all transmission
I've got my moon boots on
Yeah, I'm a man on a mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye
Gonna cut off all transmission
Yeah, yeah, yeah [x4]
I'm gonna leave this place
I made a snap decision
I'm gonna find another earth
And start my own religion

Somewhere where there ain't no fears
A place without anxiety, worry, or doubt
It's gonna look and sound the same
It will have similar appearances and acoustics
Only difference is that you're not here
The only thing that sets it apart is your absence
She said why [x4]
Someone is asking a question repeatedly
She said why you always getting out your face, boy
Someone is asking why I'm always under the influence
She said, you're never happy while you're livin' in this place, boy
Someone is claiming that I'm never content with my current surroundings
She said, why you always leaving us behind, boy
Someone is asking why I'm always leaving people behind
You're always, Why you always out of your mind
Someone is questioning why I'm not thinking straight
Yeah, yeah, yeah [x4]
An exclamation is being repeated four times

I've always had this feeling of just wanting to fly when I hear this song. Like leaving everything behind to go beyond what I am and simply is.

This should have been the first single of #3. It's too good to be another bonus track.
