"Girl On The Moon" by Chrissy Chlapecka turns a breakup into an escape to another world. After being failed by a lover who never even said her name, she flees the fighting, sleepless nights, and fear by flying into space. The moon becomes both a refuge and a vantage point, where she sits in a crater and watches the ex get drunk alone below. The distance lets her finally see the relationship clearly, and the pain that once decayed her body stays behind on Earth.
Girl On The Moon Lyrics by Chrissy Chlapecka
It’s the same
Old thing
And I tried
Everything
Oh to be one of the stars
Built by the gods
Oh to step foot in a bar
Where you never been before
And wouldn’t be nice to deal with no one
I’d sit in a crater looking down on you
Tell me
Who did you love?
Cause you failed me
Was I not enough
Not worth it stay
So I’ll run away
I’ve always known that it’s true
Help me
Cause it isn’t safe
Where my heart bleeds
My body decays
I’ll get on a plane
And go up to space
I’ll be the girl on the moon
Away from you
Away from you
Away from you
From you
Leave my pain
Where it was
And your name
God I haven’t heard that shit once
Now that I’m one with stars
I do what I want
And now you’re alone at the bar
Getting shit faced on moonshine and scotch
And isn’t it nice to deal with no one
I sit in my crater looking down on you
Tell me
Who did you love?
Cause you failed me
Was I not enough
Not worth it stay
So I’ll run away
I’ve always known that it’s true
Help me
Cause it isn’t safe
Where my heart bleeds
My body decays
I’ll get on a plane
And go up to space
I’ll be the girl on the moon
Away from all of the fighting
The sleepless nightings
You put me through
Thunder and lighting
Scared and alone
Now I’m on the moon
You played a saint
When I flew off to space
And now I see it’s true
All the colors I saw
Came into view
Tell me
Who did you love?
Cause you failed me
Was I not enough
Not worth it stay
So I’ll run away
I’ve always known that it’s true
Help me
Cause it isn’t safe
Where my heart bleeds
My body decays
I’ll get on a plane
And go up to space
I’ll be the girl on the moon
Away from you
Away from you
Away from you
From you
