Dark Side of the Moon

I had to leave home for home Packed my car up, gave my key to neighbors Hope they keep my plants alive Then I drove four states East And every car along the ride was also on their own odyssey Florida to Tampa Oregon to bend These license plates like name tags in reverse migration Every mile closer to the dark side of the moon I don't know what's comin', do any of you? But last night, I think I met my mom And this afternoon, I met my sister And this morning, I finally met my dad While he was outside just picking up dogshit Oh, despite everything else, I think I met myself I'm having to reinvent The way I measure time now 'Cause days and hours feel like a past life Tryna learn new manners Like how to greet a stranger on the street With nothing but your eyes, oh Texas to Houston New York to The City I know you're getting slammed but you'll walk again Every mile closer to the dark side of the moon I don't know what's coming, I just wanna hold you soon But last night, I met the Milky Way As it was shivering outside of my window And this morning, I finally met the birds 'Cause there's nothing else to do but watch them Oh, despite everything else, I think I met myself A few months ago I thought the world was ending, it was Burning all the work we'd just begun But then through mornings without traffic Through horizons without smog I could see that wasn't fire, no That was just the dawn
