I drove up to the city at night and found the place   Where you grew up and then where you stayed    And we walked around and stayed up late under city lights   I spent the night, next to you in the house where you grew up   Next to you I miraculously woke up   In your parents' house I laid in bed with you      I went back to feel alone there   I went back to wipe it clean      I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams   And we went all the way up to the small town where I'm from    With foggy air and the wind and the mountain top    And we clung to rocks and looked off and you held my hand    You almost got to start feeling me   I finally felt like I was breathing free    Under swaying trees we fell asleep and we had the same dream   The stars were bright, we dream the same every night   On my island home I spent some time with you      I went back to feel alone there   I went back there by myself   I gave up on everything that we'd felt      We found a precious place in the sand right out in the wind    And we laid under a blanket and heard the furious sound   The roar of waves, the pounding surf, two bodies on the earth   It was intense just getting to be there next to you    And you trying to get me then, and I was happy to let you in      I went back and wished I hadn't   I went back and felt regret   I went to the beach and I stared west      Every night when the sun went down in the town where we lived    The empty streets were lit up by reflected light from a distant sun    Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock and we just laid on the roof    And watched the moon, the moon, the blue light of the moon   We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful    And, like the moon, my chest was full because we both knew    We're just floating in space over molten rock    And we felt safe and we discovered that our skin is soft   There's nothing left except certain death    And that was comforting at night out under the moon      I went out last night to forget that   I went out and stared it down   But the moon stared back at me   And in it's light I saw my two feet on the ground
