lyrics

Rocket Fuel

Well everyone round here is governed by their fear
we never fit too well, we were always wild as hell

We had nothing to lose and so much to gain
and pure rocket fuel in our veins
Back then we flew higher than airplanes
cause we had rocket fuel running in our veins
cause we had rocket fuel running in our veins

So I left that home and struck out on my own
told you I’d be back- found out the hard way that

There is so much you lose that you can’t reclaim
when you’ve got rocket fuel running in your veins
and somehow gasoline just never feels the same
once you’ve had rocket fuel running in your veins

I’m just a bomb with a fuse and a case of the blues
I never meant to lose you or leave you lonely
It’s a long way to cruise- may be wrong but I choose
to never let the fear own me

I will soar through the sky, I will defy the rain
I’ve got rocket fuel in my veins
and you see the world as something you can change
when you’ve got rocket fuel running in your veins
when you’ve got rocket fuel running in your veins
when you’ve got rocket fuel running in your veins
