You Owe Me a Moon
Skirmish: Moon (@44nifty)Liner Notes
Lyrics
You’ve been copying my homework Took the stars out of my sky You swiped my thesis statement And I know the reason why
You want to live a life of excellence Without putting in the time Take the money take the distance Now it feels like a crime
I don’t believe your promises You know I’ve heard that tune I was going around in circles Till you ran away in June Plunged my nights into darkness A million years too soon Hey babe I think you owe me a moon
Now you’ve spying on my socials In a dozen different names That’s not fishing for ideas I think I’ve seen those games
And I think you’ve changed your number So there’s no way I can call While you’re dreaming of the day I’ve got you up against a wall
I don’t believe your promises You know I’ve heard that tune I was going around in circles Till you ran away in June Plunged my nights into darkness A million years too soon Hey babe I think you owe me a moon

Oohhh that second chord is so delicious! The "Hey babe, I think you owe me a moon" is really catchy, I love it. The academia references are clever, can't imagine the feelings that would come from a stolen thesis! Quite evocative, great work!
I agree…get you that moon!!! Lazy-cheating-ass!
This came together really nicely. The lyrics are so clever and poetic. They made a particularly strong chorus. Well done!
