Here, at last, Judy makes her big debut! Shortly afterward, the merry band makes their way to another bar and fumbling attempts at reigniting love are made.
[Verse 1]
"Are you gonna mope all night?"
I focus my eyes, I guess he's probably right
"Did you drag me off from my couch
So we could sit here in silence until we say goodnight?"
He says, "We need a change of scene
Let's go to the bar around the corner where it's always dark"
And as we're putting our money down
Claire's asking Charlie if we're hittin' the town
[Chorus]
He says, "We're making our way to the moon
And we're taking off soon"
[Verse 2]
She says, "I'd be down for the moon
But I didn't bring my helmet"
She catches me rolling my eyes
So I say, "I packed a spare"
I don't think it saves me, but she doesn't seem to care
She's asking Rose for her bill
And just as she's paying, Judy walks in the door
She's giving Charlie a hug
She won't look in my eyes, but she asks where we're going
[Chorus]
He says, "We're making our way to the moon
And we're taking off soon"
[Verse 3]
Judy laughs a little too hard
I didn't think it was that funny the first time around
Claire asks if she'd like to join
She says, "That'd be nice," and I don't know what the hell's going on
But soon we're walking the street
Charlie's walking with Claire and Judy's walking with me
I say, "I didn't expect to see you"
She says, "To be honest, I knew exactly where you'd be"
[Chorus]
And I say, "Making my way to the moon"
And she laughs too soon
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
That old feeling pours over me
Reaches to the pit of my stomach, so I reach for her hand
She pulls it away from me
She says, "You know it can't be like that"
[Chorus]
We'll just make our way to the moon
And I'll see you soon

About “The Moon” and “Try Again”:
“I wrote these at the same time. At this point [the narrator]’s not really having fun at the bar. He’s invited his friend Charlie out to have a drink, and he’s pretty much just sitting there thinking the whole time. It’s kind of a turning point in the album where Ju...
