LYRICS:

If I move
If I move to Mars
If I move to Mars, will you come with me?

If I move
If I move to Mars
If I move to Mars, will you come with me?

We can find a small spot of land, build a house with our hands
Make the walls from imaginary plans
Lay the rug you love right across the floor

There'll be no concrete or corners at all
And we won't even need a closing door
There won't be a lady we be paying daily, just to stay, maybe
If the neighbours ain't complained lately

If I move
If I move to Mars
If I move to Mars, will you come with me?

We can take a mixer and cables and both my turntables
Couple crates of my best white label
And Space Oddity and Dark Side Of The Moon

We can bring the Cognac that we been savin'
For an extraordinary, rare occasion
We can lie in the dirt, speaking not a word, looking up at Earth
Just be one with the universe

If I move
If I move to Mars
If I move to Mars, will you come with me?:

'Cause I just want you
To be with me too
Yeah, I just want you
Oh, and maybe 80 million ks to anywhere
I want you

If I move
If I move to Mars
If I move to Mars, will you come with me?

I'm just surprised this has only gotten 237k views. Should be WAY more.

6 years later, still heavy on repeat 🔥

The first time i've ever heard this song is yesterday 9/10/15 in Monsoon Festival 2015. What a lovely song.

[melodyfarm]

this needs more views... its so good...

[manfromnantucket]

Sound waves don't carry in the vacuum of space, but visuals are surreal

[matthewhenry]

So I was trying to say "If I remove a device off my Hulu account would it automatically log that device out" into my search mic, and I accidentally said "If I move..." And stop talking...

And now I'm here😎

[TheYolobrid]

Heard this song on RDU in Christchurch today, deserves much more recognition than what it is getting. SHARE SHARE SHARE

[smanbotica]

saw you play in Adelaide supporting Fat Freddie's. Best. Support. Ever. Great song, look forward to your new tunes.

[tezzalozza]

That sly Pink Floyd note at 1:22....epic!

[khailrigg]

I love how he spent six weeks in training to make it look like he's actually floating. That's dedication!

[gayfish]
