Holding the Moon

Well Katy turned away, with a slow step back she falls into the night And says there's nothing left to pray for And there's nothing worth the fight It just feels like we're empty until someone comes along That we could paste in every picture and sing for in each song If it's always going to be like this I'll quit believing now If the memories from each turn we missed keep Dragging us around in circles then I'd rather forget She cried and hailed a taxi with her cigarette. So we say goodbye And I wonder why We're always leaving so soon Or why I chase the midnight sky When I could be holding the moon She said take me as I am or take the next train out of town Take the memories we kept locked Away cause darling this love is hurricane bound And I want to ask her ain't it easier just face it, Either my heart kept running faster Or yours grew too strong to chase it Now it all just fades away And slowly I step back into the night Cause if there's nothing real to stay for then there's no Need for the light And we remain two lost shadows in the dark With a fear to ever frame our restless hearts. So we say goodbye And I wonder why We're always leaving so soon Or why I chase the midnight sky When I could be holding the moon We say goodbye And then tear off wide eyed All the way from the cradle to the tomb Wondering why We chase the midnight sky When we could be holding the moon When we could be holding the moon
