"Cardboard Boxes" lyrics

When I was so much younger
Than I am today
I woke up every morning
Thinking nothing stood in my way

I built so many things
With my imagination
I felt like I was the king
Of an entire nation

Reality has taken over
And I'm just pushing it
Right off my shoulder

I built this rocket ship
From cardboard boxes
It's fool proof
We're getting outta here
To the moon, to the moon
I wired it up with shoe laces
And I gave it a few test drives
I put it through its paces
To the moon, to the moon
I'll see you there soon
I'll see you there soon

So pack your bags and get ready to go
I'm leaving in about a minute or so
And I'm not holding on any longer
'Cause reality will just get stronger

And when I get there
I swear I'll do
All the crazy things
I wanted to do
And it's just a pity
I can't stay for long
I'm only here until the magic's gone

I built this rocket ship
From cardboard boxes
It's fool proof
We're getting outta here
To the moon, to the moon
I'll see you there
I wired it up with shoe laces
And I gave it a few test drives
I put it through its paces
To the moon, to the moon
I'll see you there soon
I'll see you there soon

Once again it comes to an end
Once again goodbye to pretend
Such a pity I can't stay for long
I'm only here until the magic's gone

I built this rocket ship
From cardboard boxes
It's fool proof
We're getting outta here
To the moon, to the moon

Oh I'll see you there soon
I'll see you there soon
I'll see you there soon

I'll see you there soon
I'll see you there soon

I'll see you there soon
I'll see you there soon

I'll see you there soon
