about

we had written a song that was the title track, "I Gave You the Moon", that appears on this release as the half studio version and appears on the IGYTM demos as my home version, and though that song never quite hit the mark, i felt there was a beauty in that riff and progression.

after some playing around, i stumbled across this arrangement.

this recording is the first take of me playing the song as written all the way through. i kept the original hook as the middle 8 (that appears probably 6 minutes thru the song, but intended as a middle 8 nonetheless).

lyrics

it's a long life without any others, with the whipping wind at your back
dust has collected on my covers, i've been waiting for you to come back
i've been reckless, i haven't been sleeping
cause it hurts to see you in my dreams
and the distance i feel isn't measured in miles
it's measured in memories

we keep in contact but what's the motive?
what's the answer you seek?
and i have questions for every hour of the day but
you never answer me
it's easy to move on if you never stopped to look around in the first place
but i am stunted, staring at your footprints
wishing you would've stopped with me

since there's nothing left for me to say
i think that i should be on my way

but the exits are never flawless
more an entrance to lonely nights
though the moon's high, and the stars are shining thru clouds
i'm alone here in this field for the rest of my life

and if you come back, we could start it over
get married one day, settle down
with the white fence, a 9-5 gig
find the love that was never around

and since there's nothing left for me to say
i think it's better we go away
the distance that i feel isn't measured in miles
it's measured in memories

i believe there's love to be found

i believe in love

the moon's high, the stars are staring at me
we're laying in a field side by side
i tried to reach you but you were miles from me
you were already lost in my eyes

so that night i lost my shot at the moon
cause i was chasing stars
though you were only a few feet over
you had never been so far away
