Looking at Different Moons

by @stevemepsted

Liner Notes

Here is song number three. This ones a little tune about missing someone who's on the other side of the world. I like to imagine we are both looking at the night sky together but their moon is upside down and 9 hours ahead of mine! A simple production which could be nicely fleshed out in the future. Quite happy with this but I feel it could benefit from a tighter structure and perhaps a different middle eight. Also forgive my voice on this but Im recovering from a nasty head cold! #moons #picking #singer_songwriter #love_song

Lyrics

Here’s a list – of all the things I miss
A diagram and a five-point plan
I write these words to send you a letter
To let you know I do the best I can

Went out last night to see the Northern Lights
Found a burned-out candle on a building site
But I’m not blue – I’m just muddling through
I’ve got nothing to do
Except wait for you

I’m looking up to find you in the night sky
I’m hoping to see you soon
We both stand on the surface of the same spinning world
But we’re looking at different moons
Yes, we’re looking at different moons

We are in orbit, spinning through space
And in two hundred revolutions, we’ll be back in the same place
Am I pushing forwards? Are you pulling back?
I hope it's true that opposites attract.

And every day, is just the same
I’ve grown accustomed to this waiting game
But I’m not blue – I’ m just muddling through
I’ve got nothing to do
Except wait for you

I’m looking up to find you in the night sky
I’m hoping to see you soon
We both stand on the surface of the same spinning world
But we’re looking at different moons
Yes, we’re looking at different moons

As time marches on, am I still the one?
All these questions and answers and riddles
And on a scale, between dead and all’s well
I’m somewhere in the middle
Stuck in the middle with you
