We were out in a field when we felt the earth shake
We were sleeping a lot when we thought that life was fake
We were smoking a pack when we knew that time could wait
We were tying our shoes when we should have been running away
Far away
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me, is the world lost without its moon?
And will we, will we, will we, find our own way across the blue?
Because I can’t, I can’t, I can’t withstand shipwrecks anymore
But you can, you can, you can do anything you want
But you can, you can, you can do anything you want
We were singing too much when we should have been talking for days
We were swimming in baths when we could have been floating in lakes
We were caught in a storm when the clouds turned dark with hate
We were having a duel when you turned and just walked away
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me, is the world lost without its moon?
And will we, will we, will we, find our own way across the blue?
Because I can’t, I can’t, I can’t withstand shipwrecks anymore
But you can, you can, you can do anything you want
But you can, you can, you can do anything you want
Do you want to move on? Are you packing your feelings?
Is your heart in a box? Is it dead or still beating?
Are you afraid of the time it takes to heal?
Are you afraid of the words that weren’t revealed?
Could you give it some time to show that you’re there?
Before the loose ends can’t be repaired
Are you living alone? Do you want some company?
I’ve been on my own, I can’t say I’ve always wanted to be
There are the nights when I drink to forget why I drink
And the times when I think to perceive what I mean
If you want we could leave and do whatever you do
Or sit at home and watch it all on the tube
In harmony
Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me, is the world lost without its moon?
And will we, will we, will we, find our own way across the blue?
Because I can’t, I can’t, I can’t withstand shipwrecks anymore
But you can, you can, you can do anything you want
But you can, you can, you can do anything you want
