a song by john maus. released in 2011. fearured on his album we must become the pitiless censors of ourselves.
"hey moon. its been so long since we saw each other. and i still dream about our get together. im really sorry i don't play so well. this situation i find myself in and youre behind thousands of aliases. when all i long for is some common ground from where we check this and that out. one voice i can lean on. one word i can depend on. what i would give to lie on some second hand couch with you. I'd tell you so much more than here and now allows me to. hey moon. do you ever consider my side too. that im thirsting for the greatness that hides in you. do you ever imagine that the both of us could just be. in the real world. be. simply and easily. just be. hey moon what do you say"
