Moon & Back
Read Southall Band Lyrics

I remember a Bella creek,
The singer has a vivid memory of a specific location called Bella Creek.

With a handful of daisies
The singer had some daisies with them at Bella Creek.

Drew it out in the sand
The singer drew something in the sand at Bella Creek using the daisies.

Would you be with me
The artist is asking someone if they would be with them at Bella Creek.

And you said yes
The person being asked agreed to be with the artist at Bella Creek.

I still remember your daddy′s jeep
The singer remembers a specific vehicle, the father's jeep, that belonged to the person they were with.

You use to slide in there next to me
The person being addressed used to sit next to the singer in the jeep.

You weren't very good at a five speed
The person being addressed was not skilled at driving a stick shift (car with a manual transmission).

So I taught you
The artist taught the person being addressed how to drive the jeep.

So why did you leave
The artist is questioning why the person being addressed left them.

Cause it don′t make no sense to me
The singer is expressing confusion as to why the other person left.

My friends say
The artist's friends have said something to them.

I'm still a good time
The singer is still fun to be around, even post-breakup.

Women still say I can dance
Women still compliment the singer's dancing ability.

And my daddy still my best friend
The singer's father is still their closest friend.

I still starch his shirts and pants
The artist still does laundry for their father, including starching his clothing.

I still believe in the word of God
The artist still has faith in God's teachings.

I'm still chasing our plans
The singer is still working towards goals that they and the person being addressed had made together.

And my eyes are still a shade of blue
The singer's eye color has not changed.

And I still got calluses on my hands
The artist's work or hobbies have caused calluses to form on their hands.

My hair is long and shaggy
The artist has long, unkempt hair.

And I still love to pick guitar
The artist still enjoys playing guitar.

Said you loved everything about me
The person being addressed expressed their love for the singer and all their qualities.

Guess the moon and back
The distance between the artist and the person being addressed is described as 'to the moon and back.'

Ain′t that far
The singer feels that the distance between them and the person being addressed is not that great.

Sitting there staring
The singer is currently sitting and looking at something.

At the ceiling a while
The singer has been staring at the ceiling for a bit of time.

Living a pretty rough lifestyle
The artist's life has been difficult lately.

Now that you're gone
The person being addressed is no longer with the artist.

I do just about anything a damn well want to
The singer is taking advantage of their newfound freedom and is doing whatever they please.

But it′s rough having me around
The singer acknowledges that their behavior may be tough on others.

Having to paint in front of the whole damn town
The artist is doing something publicly that is making others uncomfortable or embarrassed.

The truth is
The artist is about to reveal something that they consider to be the truth.

And always will be
The artist believes that what they are about to say is and will always be the truth.

I miss you
The singer is admitting that they miss the person being addressed.

To the moon and back
The artist misses the person being addressed an incredible distance, like the phrase from earlier in the song.

Is far enough for me
The singer laments that missing someone to such a distance is further than they'd like.

Ain′t that far
The singer rephrases their previous sentiment, saying that the distance is not terribly far.
