I look exhausted
+
Oh, stiff and awkward on the outside of the moment
+
It's not my first time bitter, drunk on a red carpet
+
Or my first time losing, and it won't be my last
+
You said, "Ignore it
+
Oh, California's so much more than some awards show
+
You're no more important than an insect on a window
+
They'll see you climbing, but won't care until you get close"
+
You said some people don't know why they're wolves
+
They just howl for the sound of it
+
Some will never know they're beautiful
+
Until the crowd points it out for them
+
But I see you through a camera flash
+
I look back and you laugh
+
And this is hard, but I feel less far
+
This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien ground
+
I'm a college kid with my windows down
+
I'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
+
I stare at you, I sing to you
+
I circle you
+
Rain on a steel roof leaks through the ceiling
+
Hits the patrons in the ballroom
+
You said, "Oh, look, babe, even God is tryna warn you
+
All this ain't for you"
+
But I cling to my seat
+
I guess some people don't know why they're wolves
+
They just howl for the sound of it
+
Some will never know they're beautiful
+
Until the crowd points it out for them
+
But I see you through a camera flash
+
I look back and you laugh
+
And this is hard, but I feel less far
+
This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien ground
+
I'm a college kid with my windows down
+
I'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
+
I stare at you, I sing to you
+
And I clutch my cloth, and I bite my tongue
+
I'm an aging wolf who lost the taste for blood
+
Even anxious pups need the Moon
+
I howl for you, I sing to you
+
I circle you
+
I circle you
+
I circle you
+
If I'm gonna lose you either way
+
If I'm gonna lose you either way
+
If I'm gonna lose you either way
+
I'm gonna lose you either way
+
