In “Moon Song,” Bridgers would do anything for her partner, even attempting to do the impossible of giving them the moon.

[Verse 1]
You asked to walk me home
But I had to carry you
And you pushed me in
And now my feet can't touch the bottom of you
[Pre-Chorus]
You couldn't have, you couldn't have

And we fought about John Lennon

[Pre-Chorus]
And then went to bed upset

And I've never seen you smiling so big
It's nautical themed and there's something I'm supposed to say
But can't, for the life of me, remember what it is
[Bridge]
And if I could give you the moon
I would give you the moon
[Chorus]
You are sick and you're married and you might be dying
But you're holding me like water in your hands
When you saw the dead little bird, you started crying
But you know the killer doesn't understand
