He's taking his time making up the reasons

He's taking his time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside

Draco Malfoy walked down the halls of Hogwarts. He hated this life. He felt hurt, although there was no visible pain. This doesn't make sense, he thought to himself; A Malfoy has no feelings. That's what I've been taught.
Guess he knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one

People had told him he was bitter for a reason. He must be. Maybe he suffered from depression. Maybe he'd been teased when he was a child. They're were some theories that were whispered beyond his back, he knew. Never mind them, his father had told him; Malfoys' are not to care.

They're saying
Mama never loved him much

His mother had never truly loved him. She had always secretly told him this several times, and once confronted his father about it. His father had nearly killed her after she told him so. But it was true.
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why he shies away from human affection

His father was never truly in sync with his feelings. He never quite understood him. Why he didn't want to join the dark side. He'd never understand him.
But somewhere in a private place
He packs his bags for outer space

He felt like flying- or maybe running- away from Hogwarts. Maybe he'd fly to Outer Space.
And now he's waiting for the right kind of pilot

To come (and he'll say to her)

If he did fly to Outer Space, he'd have to fly with some one- a girl. Not just any girl- a girl that he truly loved.

He's saying

I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be if you'll be my baby

He'd fly to the moon with her- and maybe even come back. Maybe.
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby

He'd take her to the moon and back, and anyone where else she wanted to go. He'd take her everywhere. As long as it was where they both belonged.

Ooh-ooh

He can't remember a time
When he felt needed

He'd never truly felt needed. He was his father's child- there simply for his father pleasure. There to be an heir, and be exactly like his father. He hated this life.
If love was red then he was color-blind

He'd never known true love. He'd never felt it- known it.
All his friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined

Crabbe and Goyle weren't his true friends. They were just there because their parents owed a great debt to his father. He had had 2 friends- Eric Packa and Caesar Milky. Caesar he had played with for a few years before his father had said his parents was a traitor to the Dark Lord and he could no longer play with them. Eric had been his friend in till his father had caught them playing and restricted them from playing together. He had never said why- just mumbled something about Eric being on the light side.

He's saying

Love is like a barren place

He'd never known love. Love was like a blank field to him; a barren place. A desert. That's what love was to him- a desert.
And reaching out for human faith
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for

He'd never known human faith; he'd never reached out for it. To him, it was like a unexplored place- to him, at least.
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that he's hanging all his hopes on the stars

(What a pleasant dream)

So, he was gonna make it obvious who he was in love with- as soon as he found her.

Disclaimer: Draco Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, Draco's father and his mother all belong to me. "To the Moon and Back" Belongs to Savage Garden, all though I changed all the she's to he's, etc. I own Eric Packa and Caesar Milky although you can have 'em if you want.
