lyrics

Leaving footprints on the surface of the moon
It’s entirely up to you, whether you’re staying or coming
An entire galaxy could easily fit in your room
You just have to make some space for the unused pages

In this lunar daydream I find
Space friends and silhouettes
It just lacks the atmosphere
And the small sounds of comfort
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing in the galaxy’s edge
I just wanna be here
I don’t wanna leave

But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing in the galaxy’s edge
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing

Taking pictures of the night sky
Waiting for the perfect moment
When the moon is under attack by the sun’s neglect
But I think I lost it now
Or I never really got the chance
It was all just a premeditated dream
She was chuckling behind the curtains
Hey Moon, it’s your moment, the stage is yours

But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing in the galaxy’s edge
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing

Spoken word taken from Apollo 17 mission communications:
"Houston, before we close out our EVA, we understand that there are (...) young people from countries all over the world, (...) they had the opportunity to watch the launch of Apollo 17. (...) Probably one of the most significant things we can think about when we think about Apollo is that it has opened for us (...) a challenge of the future, the door is now cracked, but the promise of the future lies in the young people, not just in America, but the young people all over the world learning to live and learning to work together."

I just wanna be here
I don’t wanna leave
I don't wanna be here
I just wanna leave

But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing in the galaxy’s edge
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing
