Lori McKenna

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

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...
