Looking at the sky at night
Little bitty circles of light
You point out a constellation that you like

And tell me all about it
'Cause you know about it
And I love that you know stuff like that
I love that the little things mean so much
That’s why I’m always smiling
I swear I smile my face off
Let me kiss you face off
Right before we take off

In this rocket (of love)
In this rocket (of love)
And you got me so high (so high)
Higher than I've ever been
And you got me so high (so high)
Higher than I've ever been
In the stars with you
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars

Darker than I’ve ever seen ya
Don’t think I ever felt so small
But darkness never felt so bright
And in your arms
It’s hard to feel afraid at all
On my neck I feel your breath
Chills up my spine
Feels I’m in mine
All the time
And that’s why I’m always smiling
I swear I smile my face off
Let me kiss you face off
Right before we take of

In this rocket (of love)
In this rocket (of love)
And you got me so high (so high)
Higher than I've ever been
And you got me so high (so high)
Higher than I've ever been
In the stars with you
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars

Well if this world don’t understand the love
That we share between us, babe
Oh then we’ll fly away
Fly away and just find one that does, oh

In this rocket (of love)
In this rocket (of love)
And you got me so high (so high)
Higher than I've ever been

And you got me so high (so high)
Higher than I ever been
