Let me paint a picture just for you
It's an honest scene with an honest man like me
Let me gloss it over with some truth
If honesty was my policy, I'd fail at this quite
miserably
Cause everything I sing I sing for you
When the moon stops shining I guess we can give this a
rest
When the moon stops shining I guess we can give this a
rest
But when the sun comes out in your town, could you
stick around?
I'm not impressed by this and I might be the only one
who could ever leave you
But you've given me reason to leave
I should lay this jacket down for you
Pretend the buttons are a bridge you can climb on to
the other side
I'm pretty sure that's what guys are supposed to do
But if I could , I 'd do some good and part that mud
like moses would
It's just too bad I think I'll wear my jacket tonight
When the moon stops shining I guess we can give this a
rest
When the moon stops shining I guess we can give this a
rest
But when the sun comes out in your town, could you
stick around?
I'm not impressed by this and I might be the only one
who could ever leave you
But you've given me reason to leave
I caught a glimpse of hope staring at constellations
from my backyard
But I guess you were using me just to study the stars
Where did the time go ?
Where did my mind go ?
Where did my money go ? I thought you knew (x 2)
I spent it all on you
I'm not impressed by this and I might be the only one
who could ever leave you
But you've given me reason to leave
I caught a glimpse of hope staring at constellations
from my backyard
But I guess you were using me just to study the stars
I take it you were using me for astronomy
