VERSE 1
I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a loo-oong time
You've been good, more logical than ever
We small talk, V'ger & Vulcan
Your shields are up & I know why
Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind,
you gave me friendship & I tossed it all aside
CHORUS
So this is me swallowing my pride
standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
& I go back to the Enterprise all the time
It turns out Starfleet ain't nothing but missing you
wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to the Enterprise, turn around, and make it all right
I go back to the Enterprise all the time
VERSE 2
These years, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, bothering Bones's sleeping
When your birthday passed & I didn't comm
Then I think about Enterprise, the beautiful times
I watched you scanning from my Captain's chair
& realized I loved you from the start
Then we returned to Earth & fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love & I didn't even know
CHORUS
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
& I go back to the Enterprise all the time
It turns out Starfleet ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to the Enterprise, turn around, & change my own mind
I go back to the Enterprise all the time
BRIDGE
I miss your pointy ears,
Your almost smiles,
So good to me, so right
& how you joined your mind with mine when I was asleep
The first time you saw my own heart break
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we're friends again,
I'd swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time & change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
CHORUS
But this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
& I go back to the Enterprise
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to the Enterprise, turn around, & make it all right
I'd go back to the Enterprise, turn around, & change my own mind
I go back to the Enterprise all the time
Well I hope you liked it! Reviews are never hated & I do know that I took a little liberty with the line "the 1st time you saw my own heart break". I was referencing the episode "Requiem for Methuselah" & I know it's not the "first time" since we can't forget "city on the edge of forever" with Edith Keeler. Hopefully you'll forgive me for that. I also wasn't specific about what happened "that night" since we never really knew what took place between the series & the motion picture. I tried to keep that vague.
