I really love this song and can relate to it in a twisted way somehow. My head was messed up pretty bad when I was I a teenager, was bullied and/or ignored by schoolmates, especially by the boys and it's pretty much like a sad "ugly duckling" story. I changed, became pretty rather late, by the age of 18 or something and suddenly alle the guys seemed to be interrested...though I seem to have difficulties trusting them and often question their real intentions. I know I can get almost any guys attention, but I'm afraid they will se the real me insde of me if I get to close to them. To me the lyrics tell a tale of a girl that has been hurt so many times over that she don't want to go into any deeper relations, she can take them to the moon and then back again (i.e. dump them) because the were already trialed and found guilty. She gets her kicks from getting that boys attention and love, but ends it before he does. The "pilot" could be anyone, whenever she needs it, like out on town, a one night stand, etc. She doesn't want to go further, she doesn't "have a map" for the stuff that involves feelings, so she goes for the alternative.
Some of "Garbage"s lyrics describe some of the same feelings, like "Stupid Girl" and many others.
