I want it to be easy
Swore we'd be better by now
Picture of your mother in Vietnam, 1977
Something still about it
Every single day for five years straight
I got up, decided if you got it bad,
I wouldn't try to fight it
Under a pale moon,
I saw the sun go down
Two thousand miles ago,
Swear I would let you know when
And under a pale moon,
I saw the stars come out
If I wanted to be the one,
Swear I would give you something
Oh ooh ooh
Oh ooh ooh
Want it to be simple
Eyes to the light ten times
Picture of you laughing,
A sign of life, 1995
And under a pale moon,
I saw the sun go down
If I wanted to be alone,
Swear I would let you notice
And under a pale moon,
We were the only sound
Say you're ready
But you're never somehow, swear I would let you down by now
Under a pale moon
(You're the real thing now),
High in the Bible belt
(You're the real thing now)
Something to tell you
(You're the real thing now),
This could be anywhere
(You're the real thing now)
Under a pale moon
(You're the real thing now),
Watching the fire rise up
(You're the real thing now)
Once in a lifetime
(You're the real thing now),
I could be anyone
(You're the real thing now)
