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


CHORUS

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...
