[Verse 1]
When you trace all the old ideas, playing doctor in our heads
And we lay out these old blueprints
Set our lives on the path ahead
And as soon as these ideas are set in stone, in place
Our brains forget where we have put them in just a couple days

[Chorus]
And it's always been sort of like the Earth and the Moon
No matter how far apart we drift I'll still, orbit you
So these sober mornings stay hungover with regret
Feeding on leftovers from our drunken baby steps
And it's all past tense, I said that's no way to live
Retracing everything only takes you
To where you've already been

[Verse 2]
Another sip will go down smoothly
Much better than the last and you
Got enough right here to put away your past
And to make it to tomorrow

[Chorus]
And it's always been sort of like the Earth and the Moon
No matter how far apart we drift I'll still, orbit you
So these sober mornings stay hungover with regret
Feeding on leftovers from our drunken baby steps
And it's all past tense, I said that's no way to live
Retracing everything only takes you
To where you've already been
[Verse 3]
She knows that I will drop with just a tiniest bit of pressure
For the good of both of us, I'll always let her
So go ahead and use me, between points "A" and "B"
I'm your umbrella, light baggage unless it's raining

[Chorus]
And it's always been sort of like the Earth and the Moon
No matter how far apart we drift I'll still orbit you
So these sober mornings stay hungover with regret
Feeding on leftovers from our drunken baby steps
And it's all past tense, I said that's no way to live
Retracing everything only takes you
To where you've already been
