"Ticket to the Moon"

In the lines "Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon / But I'd rather see the sunrise / In your eyes" in "Ticket to the Moon," there are a couple contrasts that mirror the narrator's conflict.  There's the simple astronomical difference between the hot, active sun and the cold, lifeless moon, and there's also a difference in relative movement:  "I've got a ticket to the moon" indicates that it's the narrator who will be travelling, but "I'd rather see the sunrise / In your eyes" describes a situation where he's more or less stationary and it's the sun that's moving.
