Lyrics
The lunar surface is no stranger
The moon's surface is familiar with difficulties.
To unexpected suffering
The moon experiences unexpected suffering.
At night I see our closest neighbor
The singer observes the moon at night, noting its habitual nature.
She's addicted to routine
The moon is described as being addicted to routine.
But once in a while, I can feel her watching me
The singer occasionally senses the moon watching them from a distance.
Way in the background, peeking out for me to see
The moon is subtly present in the background, revealing itself for the singer to notice.
All my troubles seem so far away
Difficulties feel distant when the moon is visible during the day.
When the moon comes out during the day
The singer finds solace when the moon is unexpectedly present in daylight.
She may not always show her face, but
The moon may not always be visible, but it remains supportive.
She'll never turn her back on you
The moon is portrayed as a reliable presence that won't abandon you.
Been working nights since long before you came around
The singer has been working night shifts for a long time.
It's very rare that she gets blue
The moon rarely feels sad or downcast despite the singer's nighttime work.
But now and again, she shines more quietly
Occasionally, the moon radiates a quieter, more serene light.
Calm and celestial, waiting there for me to see
The moon is described as calm and celestial, patiently waiting for the singer to notice.
All my worries seem so far away
Worries seem distant when the moon is visible during the day.
When the moon comes out during the day
The singer finds relief and comfort when the moon appears in daylight.
When the moon comes out during the day
Repetition emphasizing the impact of the moon's presence during the day.
It stops me in my tracks
The moon's appearance during the day captivates the singer.
Unlike the footprints on her surface
Comparing the fleeting nature of the singer's troubles to the enduring footprints on the moon.
Mine ain't gonna last
The singer's struggles won't endure like the moon's surface footprints.
I feel her tides begin to wash it all away
The singer feels the moon's influence, symbolized by tides washing away troubles.
When the moon comes out during the day
The presence of the moon during the day has a transformative effect on the singer's perspective.
