lyrics

I know we just met and yet I bleed my heart and sound
My voice; my words; my very soul: I bleed it all
Yes I understand that sometimes you're shinning
Sometimes you're dark: so is the moon
I don't care, I always found the moon so much prettier than the sun

I'm a wolf, I guess I like singing to the queen of silver light
The bringer of change, the hope of the night, the mother of the tides
But I'll sing when you're shinning
I'll sing when you're dark, I'll sing in every that you've got
I'll sing when you're shinning, I'll sing when you're dark
I'll sing in every phase that you've got
I'm a wolf
And you are my moon

It's all rather strange, love, but it's all that we've got
It's strange for us all, love, there's no right way to walk
A road that goes nowhere and just circles around
Some pre-made conceptions of what is about
This dancing of questions, this craving to seek
These things that keep changing the more that we see
Just know we're all faking that we understand
Be my dancing moon, love, and I'll be the sand
And I'll be the sand

For now let's keep on going
This roundabout road
And try to live some tales that are worth being told
It's crazy I know the way things go
I've been rolling down this mountain for twenty three years you know
And it's still as confusing as when I was spitted here
Everything keeps swirling and I just disappear
Into some crazy ass dreams in my crazy ass mind
I go around faking I'm alright all the time
But my mother doesn't need to know these things that I feel
I've always been careful not to cry when she's near
But fuck it

Maybe you and I, one day, we'll be by the beach
And the waves will bring flowers that will cover our feet
And a thousand golden parrots will dance in the sky
And warm fuzzy pandas will kiss us goodnight
But until the dream comes true
I guess it's up to me and you
To suck it up
And keep on going forward
