They say the moon is the same size whether it's up or down
If it takes up half your outstretched finger
It'll be the same 6 hours later, when you're still there, measuring

But i, i, need perspective on this

Lying here, where we used to lay
It sure doesn't look the same, up there all alone
When you don't have nothing left to compare it to
It's just me and you

But i, i, need perspective on you
I, i... you know i do.

I need to be alone, i need to be without you
There's all kinds of alone, i need to be without you
I need to be without you

The moon doesn't grow, i'll tell you how i know
I stayed up all night, with me eyes held tight
Didn't go inside until it got light
And i watched it die

But i, i, need perspective on us
I, i... you know i do.

I need to be alone, i need to be without you
There's all kinds of alone, i need to be without you
I need to be without you
