I look exhausted
Oh stiff and awkward on the
outside of the moment
It's not my first time bitter
Drunk on a red carpet
Or my first time losing
And it won't be my last
You said ignore it
Oh California's so much
more than some awards show
You're no more important
than an insect on a window
They'll see you climbing but
won't care until you get close
You said some people don't
know why they're wolves
They just howl for the
sound of it
Some will never know
they're beautiful
Until the crowd points it
out for them
But I see you through a
camera flash
I look back
And you laugh
And this is hard
But I feel less far
This ain't Watertown
I'm on alien ground
I'm a college kid
With my windows down
I'm an astronaut
You're the Moon
I stare at you
I sing to you
I circle you
Rain on a steel roof
leaks through the ceiling
Hits the patrons in the ballroom
You said oh look babe
Even God is tryna warn you
All this ain't for you
But I cling to my seat
I guess some people don't
know why they're wolves
They just howl for the
sound of it
Some will never know
they're beautiful
Until the crowd points it
out for them
But I see you through a
camera flash
I look back
And you laugh
And this is hard
But I feel less far
This ain't Watertown
I'm on alien ground
I'm a college kid
With my windows down
I'm an astronaut
You're the Moon
I stare at you
I sing to you
And I clutch my cloth
And I bite my tongue
I'm an aging wolf
Who lost the taste for blood
Even anxious pups
Need the Moon
I howl for you
I sing to you
I circle you
I circle you
I circle you
If I'm gonna lose you
either way
If I'm gonna lose you
either way
If I'm gonna lose you
either way
If I'm gonna lose you
either way
