Promise To the Moon

I’ve starved my days
I’ve drowned my nights
I’ve run campaigns against the light
I’ve been the liar
I’ve lit the fire
Died down, I’ve shrunk back from the fight

I’ve got this feelin'
This suspicion
This conviction
Something’s shiftin
And I’m liftin up my feet to take the step
I’m ready now!

To let myself change colors with the leaves
Let the wind come shake me down!
Deliver me closer to the ground
I made a promise to the moon

Now, outside this window
I see all the other boxes
Box-shaped drivers
Box-shaped cars
Those little box-shaped lives that I could live

I know the shape of this room
I know these walls, I know this tune
I know I’m stalling and I’m gonna turn the page
So show me how!

I can weave my way into a tight cocoon
Then let it push me inside out!
I’ve made a vow, I’ve made a pledge, I’ve made a pact
I’ve made a promise to the moon!

I’ve starved my days
I’ve drowned my nights
I’ve run campaigns against the light
I’ve been the liar
I’ve lit the fire
Died down, I’ve shrunk back from the fight

I’ve got this feelin'
This suspicion
This conviction
Something’s shiftin
And I’m liftin
My feet to take the step
I’m ready now!

To let myself change colors with the leaves
Let the wind come shake me down!
Deliver me closer to the ground
I’ve made a promise
Show me how!

To weave my way into a tight cocoon
Then let it push me inside out!
I’ve made a vow, I’ve made this pledge, I’ve made this pact
I’ve made a promise to the moon!

I’ve made a promise to the moon! (x3)
