about

"Waiting on the Moon" is sweet song about the life that is right in front of you being the one you need to embrace, instead of the fantasies that only ever promise perfection, and deliver emptiness.

lyrics

Waiting on the Moon

Telescopic visions that always end too soon
Promising horizons and flowers that never bloom
But she’s still waiting on the moon

Dreaming of Prince Charming, though his love was never proved
Perfect in the image, even if it isn’t true,
Cause she’s still waiting on the moon

Real life is happening in a shallow depth of field
Right here and now, it’s what you see and what
You’re feeling, breathing in the now.

This enchanted forest is the safest place to be
So warm and so familiar, almost like a family
So she’s still, waiting on the moon.
Bending over backwards, no matter what the role
Nothing less than perfect, the image of control
But she’s still, waiting on the moon

Real life is not the fleeting hours when you sleep
It’s the ten thousand feelings and emotions that you’re
Keeping locked up inside

But this is the moment you’ll see
It’s much more than you dreamed it could be
And all of those dreams are in your hand
It’s right where you are, it’s where you stand
No need for horizons afterall
And you’re never in love till you fall.
Till you fall

At an unexpected moment, coming very soon
May you find your liberation, in the spirit of this tune
And no more waiting on the moon.
