brightest moon i ever saw

in the cool night grass
clenching my teeth  against making a pass
i felt just like tenth grade
all over again

i was listening
to all that you said  don't think i wasn't
i just couldn't stand
looking at you

cause if there was any righteousness in the whole damned world
if the moon really had any pull he would have pulled you close to me
up with me next to me instead of this anti-climax like every time

quoting ani songs
watching my wrist  curve into my hand
so i wouldn't watch yours
holding your cigarette

when you had to go
we couldn't touch  no not this time
it's too dangerous now
it's all that i want

if there was any righteousness in the whole damned world
if the moon really had any pull he would have pulled you close to me
up with me next to me instead of this anti-climax like every time
we just go home alone every time
go to sleep wondering every night
with the moon and the sun and stars advising
i make wishes passing under
yellow lights
blow my eyelashes
into the wind for you
oh what i would do for you

but there isn't any righteousness in the whole damned world
except for the beauty in you pulling on me what's the right thing
up with me next to me but still this goddamn anti-climax every time
just like i was waiting
