To The Moon
KYLE Lyrics

Checkered shoes, blues
The singer is feeling down and sad while wearing checkered shoes.

News that I would learn through a tweet
The singer often gets important information through social media.

Arguing about what we could eat
Engaging in playful arguments about food choices with someone.

Reality that's coming through a screen
The artist's perception of reality is heavily influenced by digital media.

Half a moon, moods
Feeling somewhat incomplete or only experiencing half-hearted emotions.

Wouldn't even mind a little swing
The singer wouldn't be opposed to some lighthearted excitement or change.

The little bit that's on the end of string
The small amount of hope or possibility that remains in a challenging situation.

The part of me that makes me wanna scream, yeah
The artist's internal frustration or agitation that builds up and makes them want to express it vocally.

Checkered sneakers
Another reference to the artist's footwear, reflecting their current mood.

A corny sign that I would never pick or check or blink at
Refusing to pay attention or acknowledge something that seems cheesy or unimportant.

A checkered blanket just to picnic, better check for teachers
Using a checkered blanket as a cover for a romantic outing, being cautious not to get caught.

A better method for a thing that I would never think of
Considering alternative approaches to a problem or situation that the artist wouldn't normally consider.

A separate thing to dry, another one, a decorator
Having multiple things to take care of or attend to, including a decorative item.

A shirt I probably should retire and become a sleeper
Realizing that it's time to let go of an old shirt and use it as sleepwear.

A doc on how a normal guy became a creeper
A documentary or story about how an average person transformed into a creepy or unsettling individual.

A thunderstorm in bed that's loud enough that we can hear it
An intense emotional or physical experience that is clearly noticeable by both the artist and someone else.

A home that isn't just a building, it's the people nearest
Recognizing that a home is not merely a physical space but the presence and connection of loved ones.

So independent, I just roll with it thinking
The singer is self-reliant and goes along with situations, contemplating their actions.

That it's never gonna turn around
Having the belief that certain circumstances or outcomes will never change.

I guess I'm the type, not ready to die
Acknowledging the artist's personality trait of avoiding taking risks or facing significant consequences.

But I guess I'm the type to go down
Accepting the fact that the artist tends to face negative outcomes or failures.

I guess the arrogance showing
The artist is aware that their pride or self-importance is becoming evident.

When I'm assuming they listen
Making the assumption that others are paying attention to what the singer has to say.

I wrote your parents a poem
The artist expressed their feelings or thoughts through a poem dedicated to someone's parents.

I wish it could have been different
Expressing a desire for the past to have unfolded in a more favorable or alternative way.

I aint embarrassed to show it, but I'm embarrassed to say
Feeling comfortable showcasing emotions through creative means but experiencing some shame in verbally expressing those same emotions.

It hit me harder than it hit you, only on a delay
Being emotionally affected to a greater extent than the person being referred to, but with a delayed reaction or realization.

Think I might be a stone for stepping over to next
Feeling like an obstacle or a stepping stone for someone to move on to their next phase or relationship.

I wanted more but got the least, now you live in my head
Desiring a deeper connection or more significant involvement but receiving the minimum, resulting in the person being constantly on the artist's mind.

You still live in all the little things, I remember little dreams
The memories and remnants of the person are intertwined with the small details and aspirations that the singer recalls.

Thinking bout some little ones, waking up to little feet
Reflecting on the idea of having children or a family, imagining the joy of waking up to the sound of their small footsteps.

Now I see you as I'm driving around
Encountering visual reminders or reminders of the person while driving through familiar places.

You don't live in a space, you're more inside of a sound
Understanding that the person's presence isn't tied to a physical location but rather exists within the intangible sensations or auditory experiences.

Yeah you live inside my catalog, you remind of battle scars
The person occupies a significant place in the artist's memories or experiences, symbolizing the emotional struggles they've faced.

Memories, they tag along, the happier, the sadder songs
Associating memories with specific songs, where both joyful and melancholic tracks evoke various emotions and bring back past experiences.

But when I see the roof we climbed when it was twenty six
Recalling a specific moment or place where the artist and the person associated in their mid-twenties.

And bundled up together, only caring who the other is
Sharing a close and intimate bond, where the only concern is each other's well-being and identities.

I remember what it's really all about
Gaining a clear understanding or perspective on the true essence or significance of something.

So it's cool, I don't mind if you just live in the sound
Accepting and embracing that the person's presence and impact reside within the music or auditory realm, rather than in physical proximity.
