Comprehension: do you get it?

[Verse 1]

I pictured a rainbow

You held it in your hands

I had flashes

But you saw the plan

I wandered out in the world for years

While you just stayed in your room

I saw the crescent

You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

[Chorus]

You were there in the turnstiles

With the wind at your heels

You stretched for the stars

And you know how it feels

To reach too high

Too far too soon

You saw the whole of the moon

[Verse 2]

I was grounded

While you filled the skies

I was dumbfounded by truth

You cut through lies

I saw the rain dirty valley

You saw Brigadoon

I saw the crescent

You saw the whole of the moon

[Verse 3]

I spoke about wings

You just flew

I wondered, I guessed, and I tried

You just knew

I sighed

But you swooned

I saw the crescent

You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

(The whole of the moon)

[Chorus]

With a torch in your pocket

And the wind at your heels

You climbed on the ladder

And you know how it feels

To get too high

Too far too soon

You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

Hey, yeah

[Bridge]

Unicorns and cannonballs (You were there in the turnstiles)

Palaces and piers (With the wind at your heels)

Trumpets towers and tenements (You stretched for the stars)

Wide oceans full of tears (And you know how it feels)

Flags, rags, ferryboats (To get too high)

Scimitars and scarves (Too far)

Every precious dream and vision (Too soon)

Underneath the stars

[Chorus]

You climbed on the ladder

With the wind in your sails

You came like a comet
