The Moon (Acoustic) - The Microphones.mp3

[00:55.692]I drove up to the city at night
[00:59.198]And found the place where you grew up
[01:02.704]And then where you stayed
[01:04.962]And then we walked around
[01:06.715]And stayed up late
[01:08.717]Under city lights
[01:10.722]And I spent the night
[01:12.474]Next to you in the house where you grew up
[01:16.232]Next to you I miraculously woke up
[01:20.239]In your parents" house lied in bed with you
[01:26.752]I went out to feel alone there
[01:34.767]I went back to wipe it clean
[01:42.786]I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams
[01:50.556]We went all the way up to the small town where I'm from
[01:55.318]With foggy air
[01:56.571]And the wind
[01:57.574]And the mountain top
[01:59.829]And we clung to rocks And we looked off.
[02:03.087]You held my hand
[02:04.842]You almost got to start feeling me
[02:08.850]I finally felt like I was breathing free
[02:13.613]And under swaying trees, we fell asleep and had the same dream
[02:18.123]The stars were bright
[02:19.876]We dream the same every night
[02:22.380]On my island home I spent some time with you
[02:28.391]I went back to feel alone there
[02:36.156]I went back there by myself
[02:44.174]And gave up on everything that we'd felt
[02:52.156]We found a precious place in the sand
[02:55.414]Right out in the wind
[02:57.419]And lied under a blanket
[02:59.173]And heard the furious sound
[03:00.925]The roar of waves
[03:02.178]The pounding surf
[03:02.930]Two bodies on the earth
[03:04.683]It was intense just getting to be there next to you
[03:14.451]And you were trying to get me then
[03:17.958]And I was happy to let you in
[03:22.967]I went back and wished I hadn't
[03:30.732]I went back and felt regret
[03:37.998]I went to the beach and I stared west
[03:46.265]Every night when the sun went down
[03:49.022]In the town where we live
[03:51.029]The empty streets were lit up
[03:53.033]By reflected light
[03:54.785]From a distant sun
[03:56.791]Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock
[04:09.572]We just lied on the roof and watched
[04:10.702]The moon
[04:11.454]The moon!
[04:11.704]The blue light of the moon!
[04:12.956]We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful
[04:19.217]Like the moon my chest was full
[04:23.984]Because we both knew we're just floating in the same space over molten rock
[04:28.745]And we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft
[04:32.502]There's nothing left except certain death
[04:36.011]And that was comforting under the moon
[04:46.535]I went out last night to forget that
[04:54.801]I went out and stared it down
[05:02.566]But the moon just stared back at me
[05:10.334]And in its light, I saw my two feet on the ground
