I want it to be easy Swore we'd be better by now Picture of your mother in Vietnam, 1977 Something still about it Every single day for five years straight I got up, decided if you got it bad, I wouldn't try to fight it Under a pale moon, I saw the sun go down Two thousand miles ago, Swear I would let you know when And under a pale moon, I saw the stars come out If I wanted to be the one, Swear I would give you something Oh ooh ooh Oh ooh ooh Want it to be simple Eyes to the light ten times Picture of you laughing, A sign of life, 1995 And under a pale moon, I saw the sun go down If I wanted to be alone, Swear I would let you notice And under a pale moon, We were the only sound Say you're ready But you're never somehow, swear I would let you down by now Under a pale moon (You're the real thing now), High in the Bible belt (You're the real thing now) Something to tell you (You're the real thing now), This could be anywhere (You're the real thing now) Under a pale moon (You're the real thing now), Watching the fire rise up (You're the real thing now) Once in a lifetime (You're the real thing now), I could be anyone (You're the real thing now)
