Lyrics

Heard you say "They didn't put a man on the moon

Expressing skepticism about the moon landing claim.

We just needed someone to prove all this floating's worth doing"

Highlighting the need for purpose in life, implying the moon landing as proof.


Then why did you say that you miss a simpler time

Questioning the sincerity of missing a simpler time.

Well so do I and I find myself pining for you

Expressing personal longing and connection to the listener.


These days can a question be asked

Pondering the legitimacy of asking questions in the present era.

When the hero comes in last

Reflecting on the irony of heroes finishing last.

Who is winning?

Pose of a rhetorical question about who is winning in current circumstances.


Well I am tired of feeling confused

Expressing weariness of confusion.

And lest my words be construed

Clarifying intent to avoid misinterpretation.

I can't separate what's real, but I know that I believe in you

Acknowledging difficulty in distinguishing reality but expressing belief in the listener.


There you go, out on the pavement walking alone

Observing someone walking alone on the pavement.

They could name a star after you and you'd still be complaining

Sarcastically commenting on dissatisfaction despite potential recognition.


And now it's clear

Indicating clarity in purpose now that the listener is present.

Now that you know why I wanted you here

Referring to a specific reason for wanting the listener there.

There's a southern constellation that shines with your name on it

Mentioning a symbolic constellation associated with the listener.


And I won't fly until the day that I die

Declaring a commitment to stay grounded until death.

But we can't keep out dreams in jars so I'll keep yours close to mine

Recognizing the intangibility of dreams but expressing a desire to keep the listener's dreams close.


Well I am tired of feeling confused

Reiterating weariness of confusion.

And lest my words me construed

Repeating the intent to avoid misinterpretation.

I can't separate what's real, but I know that I believe in you

Reaffirming belief in the listener despite challenges in discerning reality.

I can't separate what's real, but I know that I believe in you
