Lyrics

Where have you been
On the other side of the moon
Far away, I’m coming through
I built this spaceship just for you
And I’ll be there to save you too

Save the world, it’s broken in pieces I’ll save the world, saving you takes my life away

I just can’t forget about you I’ve been dreaming like a fool I still wonder if you knew If you knew, I’m saving you

Save the world, it’s broken in pieces I’ll save the world, I know it ain’t easy Oh save the world, pay after pay I want to save her, saving you takes my life away

Saving you takes my life away

Saving you takes my life away Saving you takes my life away

I still call your friends from time to time to see if you’re okay I hope they let you know that I think about us when I’m away

Save you the world, you’re broken in pieces I’ll save the world, I know it ain’t easy Oh save the world, pay after pay I want to save her, saving you takes my life away

Saving you takes my life away Saving you takes my life away

Behind the Song

A half-built spaceship sits in the mind like a secret project, put together late at night with shaking hands and one clear purpose. Not for fame. Not for a thrill. Just to reach someone who now feels too far away to touch. It starts with a question that’s been carried around for too long: “Where have you been on the other side of the moon?” Distance turns into a real place, something you can picture, even if there’s no normal way to cross it. At its heart, this is a story about trying to pull someone back from a dark place, even when the damage can’t be undone with one brave act. Everything feels “broken in pieces” like a life worn down little by little, fine in public, falling apart in private. And then comes the promise that doubles as a warning: “saving you takes my life away.” It’s care that costs something. It’s showing up again and again, even when it hurts, even when it takes more than it gives back. The song moves between space and everyday life, making the longing feel both huge and close. One moment it’s the moon and a ship built for one person. The next it’s the most ordinary thing, calling friends from time to time just to see if someone is okay. That detail carries the weight of silence, of a split, of not having the right words anymore but still needing to know. The repeated talk of saving feels like a spell someone keeps saying to stay steady. It doesn’t pretend it’s easy. It talks about “pay after pay” like the cost isn’t one big sacrifice but a slow drain, small pieces given away day by day. “I’ve been dreaming like a fool” slips out like an honest admission: knowing it might not work, knowing it might never be enough, and still being unable to stop. By the end, the mission changes shape. It’s no longer about saving everything, it’s about how one person can become the whole world, and how losing them can make everything else feel empty. The song never fills in every detail of what happened or why the gap grew so wide. It leaves space where the truth is too big to explain, the way real stories often do. What remains is the image of someone at the edge of it all, looking up, still building, still hoping, still paying the price, still believing that getting there is worth it.
