Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside

And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive

Well, I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you

It's getting cold in California

I guess I'll be leaving soon

Daylight fading

Come and waste another year

All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear

Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn

When we see the early signs that daylight's fading

We leave just before it's gone

She said "Everybody loves you"

She says "Everybody cares"

But all these things I keep inside myself

They vanish in the air

If you tell me that you'll wait for me

I'll say I won't be here

I want to say goodbye to you

Goodbye to all my friends

Goodbye to everyone I know

Daylight fading

Come and waste another year

All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear

Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn

When we see the early signs that daylight's fading

We leave just before it's gone
