Lyrics: Jesse Epstein
Music: Jesse Epstein
Sometimes
I think about losing you
And picking out the drapes for our home
And when I go there
I can't help but remember
The moon has no light of its own
It's a cold mass in an endless abyss
Waiting on a sunbeam for meaning
You're where I go for that feeling
Maybe that's borderline codependent
But who would I be if your light suddenly ended
Stranded in the Milky Way alone
The moon has no light of its own
When I was young
I was scared of the dark
I'd cover up my eyes at the movies
When the violin shrieks
And the floorboards creak
The killer is quietly moving
Or worse yet, the screen starts to crawl
With venomous armies of spiders
And loud swelling dark synthesizers
Maybe that's borderline arachnophobic
But if I lost you
That's the headspace I'm going
Terrified and floating alone
The moon has no light of its own
Holding on for dear life
Every night you disappear
Hoping that the dice falls
On the side that keeps you here
Please, never leave me alone
I've no idea where I'd go
A cratered, abandoned old stone
The moon has no light of its own
