To the moon and back again
How innocent the young student on the day school has begun
Outside my bedroom window a Doppler muffler and a boomin' bass
How you loved her like a boy cried from the joy
How much you hated the woman who made you a man
A few more dizzying Doppler lovers and then a booming loneliness
So I hear these days you too are trying your hand at sleeplessness
But it only held enough oxygen for a trip or two
It's dawn and the snow is turning on its deepest blue
Tell me, do you remember when our love had such grace
And remember for me won't you back further before that
But it only held enough oxygen for a trip or two
No, I hated to pop the bubble of me and you
We were floating above this whole place
When you weren't laughing
When I said this was what I wanted did you think I thought it would be fun?
It's dawn on the corner where the city tests its squeaky breaks
No, I hated to pop the bubble of me and you
Oh but I remember when our love had such grace
So I go outside just to stand there and look at my hands against the color
We were floating above this whole place
I want you to always remember for me baby, if you can
I find I always return to
To the moon and back again
Do you remember when our love had such grace
To the moon and back again
