I Am the Moon

I was born to the sun
But the stars got all twisted and darling now I'm on the run
I was laid in the sea
With the kiss of the water a blanket to wrap around me

It's salty and swaddling and I'm often wondering now
If there's more than these throttling waves in the Milky Way clouds

Oh, but I'm disillusioned by love or confusion
Or whatever they call it, I feel like I'm losing my way
But I am the moon

I've become your satellite
Just a beacon to guide you back home at the end of the night
What I'd give to be there tonight
In your presence surrounded by letters I never could write

I'm sick of this coddling, sick of the wandering how
In the thick of it bottled in by gravity pulling me down

But it's all an illusion, this endless confusion
Don't know what to call it but I know that I'm losing my way
My way back to you

Sick of this coddling, sick of the wandering why
In the thick of it bottled up by gravity pulling me aside

But it's all an illusion, this love or confusion
Don't know what they call it but I know that I'm losing my way

But I am the moon
