[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Post-Chorus]

Oh ooh ooh

Oh ooh ooh


[Verse 2]

Want it to be simple

Eyes to the light ten times

Picture of you laughing, a sign of life, 1995


[Chorus]

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


[Post-Chorus]

Oh ooh ooh

Oh ooh ooh


[Chorus]

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)


[Outro]

Under a pale moon (You're the real thing now), we were the only sound (You're the real thing now)

Under a pale moon (You're the real thing now), we were the only sound (You're the real thing now)

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh, now

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Now

Now
