Rocket Science

.
They say it ain't complicated
Any fool can understand
Until the fuse is lit and
It blows up in your hand
.
It all looks good on paper
Step by step, you follow the plan
In the sky watch the desperate vapor
Til it blows up in your hand
.
Love is rocket science
What comes up it must come down
In burning pieces on the ground
We watch it fall
Maybe love is rocket science after all
.
Not if, but when, you crash and burn
Somehow you survive
But you've touched the hem of heaven
For a time you felt alive
.
Love is rocket science
What comes up it must come down
In burning pieces on the ground
We watch it fall
Maybe love is rocket science after all
.
From the distance in the twilight
Love is such a beautiful thing
Dry your eyes beneath the night sky
And I'll hold you, I'll hold you
I'll hold you like your dream
.
Love is rocket science
What comes up it must come down
In tragic pieces on the ground
It's worth it all
Baby love is rocket science
.
