Moon and Waves

why does the moon hang so low
on nights like these it feels so close
in the cape of stars that seem the same
does the moon know each one by name
why does every river’s flow reach for the sea
could they be lonely
seeking some truth to reveal
serving their purpose for eternity
when the waves they crash
maybe that’s how they dance
while we shrug and we sigh
and another day goes by
do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do
how do we orbit around
how come gravity won’t lose ground
what are these arms built for
if not to be wrapped around you
what are we all moving toward
if not to be brave enough to lose
when the waves they crash
maybe that’s how they dance
while we shrug and we sigh
and another day goes by
do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do
and that’s how moments pass
drops in an hourglass
oh where do we go, who knows
where we go
do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do
why do we push and pull away
maybe this time I’ll stay
and trace my face in the car window
wondering why the moon hangs so low
