Throwing Rocks at the Moon

She was staring out the kitchen door

She closed her eyes as I crossed the floor

In the last embers of the day

She said, "I'm bone tired of being brave, being brave"

We piled it up and we lit a match

Let it all burn down to smoke and ash

A dumpster fire out there on the lawn

We let it burn until it all was gone, all was gone

A little relief couldn't come too soon

Waiting on fate to change its tune

But it seems I've been throwing

Just throwing rocks at the moon

I sat for months with an empty page

I didn't want to, but finally, forgave

In a cloud of dust, you drove away

I couldn't say goodbye, I only waved, only waved

A little relief couldn't come too soon

Waiting on fate to change its tune

But it seems I've been throwing

Just throwing rocks at the moon

I've tried to work hard, out run or out smart

End the book before I read the middle part

Every new twist and every scene

Took me somewhere I needed to be

I don't know what this all means

Maybe someday, it will be redeemed

That's the long and the short of it

A good song usually hurts just a little bit

You asked me, "Why, why me or you?"

I said, "Why not?", you said, "I guess that's true"

It's easy to be lost as to be found

I guess it's time to lay these old rocks down, lay them down

A little relief couldn't come too soon

Waiting on fate to change its tune

But it seems I've been throwing

Just throwing rocks at the moon

A little relief couldn't come too soon, at the moon

Waiting on fate to change its tune, at the moon

But it seems I've been throwing

Just throwing rocks at the moon
