I can hear two lovers thru the wall
They lay as she reaches defeat
I hear them all the time
She commutes from Anaheim
She says the moon is full
And to expect a big pull
Tonight's full moon it'll be one month
Since I got scared that I was a fool
To let you all the way back in
Just when you proved my right again
Remember when we tried to write a song together?
You made a face at the words I chose
I was trying to write simpler
And you said, "Yeah, well there's a different between
What's simple and what isn't any good."
Tonight's full moon it'll be two years
Since you put me straight down for the first time
I said, "maybe let him in
Cause people surprise us sometimes"
Faces around my face
So patiently
They have waited as I've tried
To defend the last glimmers
Of good character
Today I play, "In the grass all wine colored."
With lovers strewn about the blades
You've got everything you need
Lies sounding like they're honesty
Some guy said, "In this town
That's your biggest head start."
On that new moon outside the bar
With the streets all wet
I knew I was in trouble
I said, "Darling please be careful with me."
Shame on me
Tonight's white light with the ring of pink
I can't afford to think about
How there's a difference between
Absent-minded love and being unkind
