Earth and Moon

When you trace all the old ideas, playing doctor in our heads And we lay out these old blueprints, set our lives on the path ahead And as soon as these ideas are set in stone in place Our brains forget where we have put them in just a couple days And it's always been sort of like the Earth and the Moon No matter how far apart we drift, I'll still, I'll orbit you So these sober mornings stay hungover with regret Feeding on leftovers from our drunken baby steps "And it's all past tense", I said, and that's no way to live Retracing everything only takes you to where you've already been Another sip will go down smoothly, much better than the last And you've got enough right here to put away your past And to make it to tomorrow And it's always been sort of like the Earth and the Moon No matter how far apart we drift, I'll still orbit you So these sober mornings stay hungover with regret Feeding onto leftovers from our drunken baby steps "And it's all past tense", I said, and that's no way to live Retracing everything only takes you to where you've already been She knows that I will drop with just the tiniest bit of pressure For the good of both of us, I'll always let her So go ahead and use me between points A and B I'm your umbrella, light baggage, unless it's raining And it's always been sort of like the Earth and the Moon No matter how far apart we drift, I'll still orbit you So these sober mornings stay hungover with regret, and Feeding onto leftovers from our drunken baby steps "And it's all past tense", I said, and that's no way to live Retracing everything only takes you where you have already been
