the microphones - the moon (version) lyrics

i drove up to the city at night
and found the place where you grew up
and then where you stayed
and then we walked around
and stayed up late
under city lights
and i spent the night
next to you in the house where you grew up
next to you i miraculously woke up
in your parents’ house
i lied in bed with you

now i went back to feel alone there
i went back to wipe it clean
i took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams

and we went all the way up to the small town where i’m from
with foggy air
and the wind
and the mountain top
and we clung to rocks
and we looked off
and you held my hand
you almost got to start feeling me
i finally felt like i was breathing free
and under swaying trees we fell asleep
and we had the same dream
the stars were bright
we dream the same every night
on my island home i spent some time with you

i went back and felt alone there
i went back there all by myself
and gave up on everything that we had felt

we found a precious place in the sand
right out in the wind
and lied under a blanket
and heard the furious sound
the roar of waves
the pounding surf
two bodies on the earth:
it was intense just getting to be there next to you
and you were trying to get me then
and i was happy let you in

now i had to go back and wished i hadn’t
i went back and felt regret
i went to the beach and i stared west

and every night when the sun went down
in the town where we live
the empty streets were lit
by reflected light
from a distant sun
bouncing off a glowing ball of rock
and we just lied on the roof and watched
the moon
the moon!
the blue light of the moon!
we didn’t talk and silently we both felt powerful
and like the moon my chest was full
because we both knew we’re just floating in sp-ce over molten rock
and we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft
there’s nothing left except certain death
and that was comforting that night out under the moon

i went out last night to forget that
i went out and stared it down
but the moon just stared back at me
and in its light i saw my two feet on the ground
