HALFWAY TO THE MOON

WELL, WE’D BEEN RIDING ON A ROAD ONE NIGHT

ON TOWARD THE BIG AND SHINY SATELLITE

AFTER THE TWO OF US HAD BROKEN THROUGH OUR OWN COCOONS

ABOUT A HUNNID THOUSAND MILES WENT BY

AND IT WAS THEN WE SORTA REALIZED

THE FACT WE HADN’T EVEN MADE IT HALFWAY TO THE MOON

SHE SAID, “THE ONLY THING MATTERS ON A TRIP LIKE THIS

IS THAT THE WHEELS KEEP A ROLLING ALONG

AND HOW YOU NEVER FORGET ANY WORDS

TO A FAVORITE SONG”

MAN, IT CAN SOMETIMES FEEL

AS THE TIME BLOWS BY

LIKE WE’RE GETTING PRETTY NOWHERE FAST

BUT IF WE KEEP IT TOGETHER

THE CAR NEVER RUNS OUTTA GAS (NEVER RUNNING OUTTA GAS)

THERE’S STILL A REAL LONG WAY TO GO

ABOARD A SHIP INTO THE LUNAR SHOW

BUT WE SHOULD TAKE IT REAL SLOW SO TO NOT ARRIVE TOO SOON

AND MAYBE FIND ANOTHER WORLD BEYOND OUR LITTLE COCOONS

RIGHT NOW WE’RE HAPPY TO BE ABOUT HALFWAY TO THE MOON

“NEVER MEANT TO BE”

THEY HAD A LOCK INTO EACH OTHERS’ EYES

AND WHILE THE BOLT SHOT THROUGH THEIR HEARTS

ARRESTED BY THE KIND OF ATTRACTION

FELT LIKE IT WAS IN THE STARS

WHEN THE TIME CAME TO BUILDING THE FIRE

THAT COULDA BURNED INTO A DESTINY

THIS LOVE WENT NOWHERE

NEVER MEANT TO BE

THEY HAD COME UPON A POINT OF DECISION

AT YET ANOTHER BUMP TO WORK ON THROUGH

THAT’S WHEN THE WALL KEPTA GROWING HIGHER

AND EVERY COLOR TURNED TO BLUE

SO WHAT MIGHTA COULDA BEEN A RIPE FRUIT

WAS LEFT UNPICKED, RIGHT ON THE TREE

AND A LOVE JUST FADED

NEVER MEANT TO BE

SOMETIMES THE FATE OF A LOVE CAN BE THROWN AWAY TO THE WIND

THEN IT’S THE LUCK OF THE DRAW IF IT EVER BLOWS ON BACK AGAIN

BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF A ROMANCE

IT COULDN’T MAKE IT OUT OF FANTASY

SOME LOVE GOES NOWHERE

NEVER MEANT TO BE

AND A LOVE JUST FADED

ONE LOVE WENT NOWHERE
