When you trace all the old ideas
Playing doctor in our heads
And we lay out these old blueprints
Set our lives on the path ahead
And as soon as these ideas
Are set in stone in place,
Our brains forget where we have put them
In just a couple days
And its always been sort of like the Earth and the Moon
No matter how far apart we drift I'll still
Orbit you
So these sober mornings,
Stay hungover with regret
Feeding on leftovers
From our drunken baby steps
And its all past tense I said
And that's no way to live
Retracing everything only takes you to
Where you've already been
Another sip will go down smoothly,
Much better then the last
And you've got enough right here
To put away your past
And to make it to tomorrow
And its always been sort of like the Earth and the Moon
No matter how far apart we drift I'll still,
Orbit you
So these sober mornings
Stay hungover with regret
Feeding on leftovers
From our drunken baby steps
And its all past tense I said
And that's no way to live
Retracing everything only takes you to
Where you've already been
She knows that I will drop
With just the tiniest bit of pressure,
For the good of both of us
I'll always let her
So go ahead and use me
Between points A and B
I'm your umbrella,
Light baggage unless its raining
And its always been sort of like the Earth and the Moon
No matter how far apart we drift I'll still
Orbit you
So these sober mornings
Stay hungover with regret
Feeding on leftovers
From our drunken baby steps
And its all past tense I said
And that's no way to live,
Retracing everything only takes you where
You have already been
