I look up at the moon

As if she gives a shit about me and my life

With open arms I ask the universe

To give me something good

As if I’d even know when I got it

I analyse my friends

To see the transmission as clearer or worse

So I can win the exchange

And I can say

That I am now the most

Selfless person in the room

We move

With so little understanding

And I never did the reading

I was set before the class

But if I take a step

You can take a step

Before you know it

We’ve learnt the dance

I hang outside the back

To count the gravel and pretend I like to smoke

Standing by your side and talk to people I don’t know

You’re telling me I’ve met them

And I laugh

And say I’m just no good with faces

We stay

With practically no reason

Just dulling out our feelings

As I try to cling to you

But if I take a step

Then you can take a step

Before you know it

We’re getting through

If we split a car

Would it really be so bad

And if we stay a little longer

It might start getting good again

We move

With so little understanding

And I never did the reading

I was set before the class

But if I take a step

You can take a step

Before you know it

We’ve learnt the dance
