Rocket Scientist

Trip-hop, slow-burning 78 BPM pulse; low-register female vocals, close and smoky with whispered doubles; minor-key Rhodes, sub-heavy bass, clipped breakbeats with brushed snare ghosts, detuned strings and granular synth fragments; vocals low in the mix with filtered delay

[Verse 1]
I wish I was a rocket scientist,
I'd calculate the distance to your heart.
I'd be the one to prove with confidence,
And know exactly where the trouble starts.

I'd read the facts like evidence,
Find the formula behind your lies.
Turn all this chaos into common sense,
And finally understand your sunrise.

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm no genius with a telescope,
I'm just out here trying to find my way.
If I could solve the science of hope,
Maybe I wouldn't feel this lost today.

[Chorus]
I wish I was a rocket scientist,
I'd build a ship and blast away.
I'd calculate the odds of happiness,
Then name the cure a better day.

Three, two, one—I'm taking flight,
ooh! I'm leaving gravity behind.
If God won't give me answers tonight,
I'll pray with you and see what I find.

I wish I was a rocket scientist—
Maybe then I'd understand
Why my heart skips a beat like this
Every time you take my hand.

[Verse 2]
I'd study every signal that you send,
Separate the static from the spark.
I'd know where every mission had to end,
Before I ever wandered in the dark.

I'd put my doubts somewhere behind my hope,
Measure every teer like drops of rain.
Maybe love's the thing that needs no microscope—
The more you have, the more  that you can show.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I keep staring at the ceiling,
Like some forgotten constellation.
Maybe all this overthinking
Is just another kind of navigation.

[Chorus]
I wish I was a rocket scientist,
I'd build a ship and blast away.
I'd calculate the odds of happiness,
Then find a cure for  better days.

Three, two, one—I'm taking flight,
ooh! I'm leaving gravity behind.
If life won't give me answers tonight,
I'll launch a plan to  see what I find.

I wish I was a rocket scientist—
Maybe then I'd understand
Why my mind keeps change on it
Every time you take my hand.

[Bridge]
Maybe I don't need the math,
Maybe I don't need the proof.
Maybe every crooked path
Was just another way to you.

Maybe some things can't be measured,
Some things can't be mapped or planned.
Maybe falling isn't failure—
Maybe that's how rockets land.

[Breakdown]
Three... two... one...
lift off!

Out of my head
