When I took the job I was too young to know
What I would grow up to be
What it would be like to be
A woman in love
Well there’s nothing quite like leaping star to star
In your interplanetary car
There’s nothing like the ground beneath your feet rushing away
And everything you see is fresh and new, waiting for you
And everything you see is fresh and new
Well there’s nothing like a beautiful new face
To fall in love with in each brand new place
There’s nothing quite like learning how to love in a foreign tongue
And everything you do to each other is new, a revelation
And everything you do to each other is new
Well there’s something to be said for staying still
But I don’t know if I ever will
The traveler in me is just to strong, she’s pulling me on
And everywhere I go I never know if I’ll find my way home
And every time I leave you wouldn’t believe how hard it can be
So now my heart is battered like a shield
Growing tougher every time it heals
The engine turns and so I dry my eyes and take to the skies, one more time
And every star I see is a love that I knew waiting for me
And every star I see is a love that I knew waiting for me

When I took the job I was too young to know
What I would grow up to be
