Moonset Down

Lights out, people on the street
They walk to their cars
And spill out of bars
Yeah they’re begging for sleep
With hopes that tomorrow
Will bring them one step closer
To somehow dream
Better them than me
I’m set in my room
With nothing to do
Guess I’m counting the sheep
And stay and jump over
The fence to be one step further
Or farther away from me
Have you ever seen the moon set down
And get swallowed by the dawn?
At 4am when the birds are singing
Then you know you’ve been up too long
Close your eyes and go to sleep
Theres something wrong
Wasting sunny afternoons
You look to the cloud
Half an hour out past two
Yet you’re still in the flows
Of pulling yourself out of here
You made a bed out of last nights boats
But thats the way this goes
I’m fine sitting out
Maybe give me a call when this all settles down
By then you’ll be human again
In the shape of a
Hope you remember what you said last night
Have you ever seen the moon set down
And get swallowed by the dawn?
At 4am when the birds are singing
Then you know you’ve been up too long
Close your eyes and go to sleep
Theres something wrong
You think that they know you
Well, I don’t think I do
Its up to you to put your best foot forward
Your head is too heavy
And you can’t see the future
Some things are better left mysterious
