about

Apollo 17, the last time astronauts were sent to the moon, launched at 12:33am on December 7, 1972. This song imagines the child of one of the astronauts watching the liftoff on a tv set in the middle of the night, half-awake, and dreaming about a scenario where she herself sneaks onto the spacecraft so that she can be with her father. He discovers her mid-flight, and sends her back to earth in a small capsule, but she plans to re-route the flight so that she can meet up with her dad on the moon.

lyrics

let myself follow you through the door
no one will notice me as I go
finding my hiding place by the stairs
I can see everything from in here

I’ve got a perfect view of the world
reach for a shooting star shaped like a pearl
gotta tell all my friends back at home
greatest adventure I’ve ever known

and if you go away from me I am gonna follow
no matter where you go away I am gonna follow
nothing will keep me away cause I am gonna follow
all the way to the moon

suddenly everything starts to shake
maybe I’ve made a real big mistake
you start to look for me everywhere
I’m sitting silently in your chair
“it’s time to get you home” is what you say
“how did you get in here anyway?”
personal rocketship just for me
but I’ve got a better plan, just wait and see
