"I feel like songs are kind of like dreams, too, where you're like, ‘I could say it's about this one thing, but...’ At the same time it’s so hyper-specific to people and a person and about a relationship, but it's also every single song. I feel complex about every single person I've ever cared about, and I think that's pretty clear. The through line is that caring about someone who hates themselves is really hard, because they feel like you're stupid. And you feel stupid. Like, if you complain, then they'll go away. So you don't complain and you just bottle it up and you're like, ‘No, step on me again, please.’ It’s that feeling, the wanting-to-be-stepped-on feeling." ― Phoebe Bridgers[1]
"Moon Song" is the seventh track on Phoebe Bridgers' sophomore album, Punisher. It was released on June 17, 2020 through Dead Oceans.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
You asked to walk me home
But I had to carry you
And you pushed me in
And now my feet can't touch the bottom of you
[Pre-Chorus]
You couldn't have, you couldn't have
[Chorus]
Stuck your tongue down the throat of somebody
Who loves you more
So I will wait for the next time you want me
Like a dog with a bird at your door
Mmm
[Verse 2]
We hate "Tears in Heaven"
But it's sad that his baby died
And we fought about John Lennon
Until I cried
[Pre-Chorus]
And then went to bed upset
[Chorus]
But now, I am dreaming and you're singing at my birthday
And I've never seen you smiling so big
It's nautical themed and there's something I'm supposed to say
But can't, for the life of me, remember what it is
[Bridge]
And if I could give you the moon
I would give you the moon
[Chorus]
You are sick and you're married and you might be dying
But you're holding me like water in your hands
When you saw the dead little bird, you started crying
But you know the killer doesn't understand
