Lyrics
I've learn to love better from far away
I've learned to love better from a distance
I've been in love with the moon since I first learned to pray
I've been in love with the moon since my early prayers
How did your hard earned trust first get in my eyes?
Questioning how the hard-earned trust found its way into their eyes
When I've done nothing but cook up your books with my lies
Expressing a feeling of dishonesty, cooking up lies instead of genuine actions
But you can't reach something as far as the moon
Highlighting the impossibility of reaching something as distant as the moon
No you can't force someone to love you too soon
Emphasizing the inability to force someone to love too quickly
And you can't align stars in your palm with your feet on the ground
Pointing out the impossibility of controlling cosmic elements while grounded
I can't know you if you won't let me in
Expressing the challenge of understanding someone who won't open up
No I can't start something you just won't begin
Inability to initiate something when the other person hesitates to begin
But I tried I tried I tried I tried
Repeated attempts despite challenges
To love your celestial body
To love the other person's celestial (spiritual) being
Lately you've been feeling so unlike yourself
Noticing a change in the other person's behavior
And you've passed all your plans off neatly to somebody else
Transferring plans to someone else, possibly avoiding commitment or responsibility
You hate the thick blue fog I trap in my brain
Disliking the emotional burden or confusion represented by the "thick blue fog"
But I listened and never kept score while you went insane
Listening without judgment during the other person's difficult times
So I can't love someone as cold as the moon
Expressing difficulty in loving someone distant or emotionally cold
And I can't get you to get me too soon
Being unable to rush the other person into reciprocating feelings
And I couldn't reach you even with both my feet in the clouds
Unable to reach the person even in the metaphorical "clouds" or dreamlike states
And I can't help you if you won't let me in
Expressing a desire to help if allowed to
And I can't bet on something you don't want to win
Unable to invest in something if the other person is not committed to winning
But I tried I tried I tried I tried
Reiterating efforts made despite challenges
To love your celestial body
Continuing attempts to love the other person's spiritual or emotional essence
