I Was on the Moon Lyrics

I was on the moon when you were born
Taking one small step
And thinking it was a giant leap
December 1988
Cub scouts on a battle ship
It kept raining where I was standing
I think I have pictures of that day
Tucked away in books in shelves throughout my mind

And on that very same day
A baby blue boy brother's
Brought into this world
I think they have pictures of that day
On display in frames and albums of that kind

I was on the moon when you were born
'Least I think I was
You see, I can't remember 'cause
I think maybe I was in my room when you were born
Filling books with words 'cause I have nothing to say
Fifteen years after '88
I missed every baseball game
But you looked so handsome at funerals
Or a lame holiday brunch
And I want you to see how beautiful you look to me

So i'll be home soon
I'll be home soon
I was on the moon when you were born
Trying to write for you the perfect song

Fifteen years after '88
I'm writing in a different room
Still trying to balance freedom
And at the same time
Let it plainly know that
I'm still alive
Still alive
Still alive
Still alive
