My Newest Moon

from Tumbling After by Jessica Smucker

/

lyrics

In the middle of night when my life is asleep
the easiest questions are the ones I can’t face.
Like who do you love? And what do you want?
And what happens if you never decide?

Oh, but look at the moon.
I want to chase it while it’s still full.

I’m gonna kick this habit of moving around.
Maybe I’ll even settle down.
I’m doing my broken best but there’s freedom in loneliness.
I never get close enough to care.

Oh, I’m just like the moon
running in circles, never quite full.

I want to dance with you
just for a moment or two.
Then you can go back to what you were doing before you knew
the arch of my shoulder blades, my quickening steps,
the color I turn when I’m unsure.

You were only the moon
I wanted to chase while it was full.

Now in the darkness of my newest moon I’m waiting
for a star to make my way a little clearer.
Who do you love? What do you want? It always comes back to that.
