lyrics
TELL ME ABOUT THE MOON
Yesterday, oh how it rained
The fog has stained Lake Pontchartrain
We tire of Decatur, we can search for alligators
Out inn Slidell or Mandeville
We wanna stay but we never will
So, New York City can wait for one more day
Oh Lizzy, tell me about the moon
And how the planets have smashed us in two
Oh we've many miles before this journey is through
So Lizzy, tell me about the moon
Kick your legs up on our love today
The time is ours to waste our way
The sunrise here is Holy, so slide your dress on slowly
On the balcony of the hotel room
The fireworks have stained their cheap perfume
I'm breathing in any words you have to say
So Lizzy, tell me about the moon
And how the planets have smashed us in two
Oh we've many miles before this journey is through
So Lizzy, tell me about the moon
I've been wasting my time
There's so much that I don't know
Take your time, I don't mind
As we drive through the snowstorm in the Cherokee Forest
Watching cardinals fly through the snow
Tell me everything I don't know
Tell me everything I don't know
Tell me everything I don't know
'Cause I miss taking it slow
Punch the clock out on our drive today
Let's take a mile to feel alive today
And look on up at the heavens before we drive down to Eighty-Seven
In the scheme of things, we're just specks of dust
But there's something so real for the next of us
And that silver string that's connecting us must come from outer space
So Lizzy, tell me about the moon
Oh, how the planets have smashed us in two
Oh we've many miles before this journey is through
So Lizzy, tell me about the moon
