The song dives into the collapse of a relationship, driven by the stark realization that beneath it all, there was never anything truly holding them together. At its heart, “Moments” is about perspective. It takes a story of something falling apart and reframes it as something understood—turning confusion into clarity, and ending not in loss, but in acceptance and forward movement.
Lyrics
1,2,3
(Verse 1)
I don’t know what it is that I want
I try to just get by
But I know that just like governments
You sell me packs of lies
And you can’t tell wrong from right
When it’s laughing in your face
How many times before I’m gonna learn?
(Verse 2)
Well, I’ll never claim to be a saint
I’ve made my own mistakes
But you can’t pin all your problems on someone you’ve never met
‘Cause they don’t look like your friends
There’s something going on under your vanity and I don’t wanna know
(Chorus)
All your care, is what perfume that you wear
Take a breath
And meet me halfway there
It won’t take me half an hour
To live the moments that we’ve shared
But the whole thing has been taking all my time
(Verse 3)
I don’t know what’s going on with you
But I know it’s not right
You like scoring off of strangers
I talk politics and wine
You say my songs don’t reach the line
I say “we’ll, fair enough. But it’s nice to have something to pass the time.”
(Chorus)
All your care, is what perfume that you wear
Take a breath
And meet me halfway there
It won’t take me half an hour
To live the moments that we’ve shared
But the whole thing has been taking all my time
(Bridge)
Our day’s complete
I feel release
I’ve had brain freeze
You need to read
‘Cause it could take me 30 hours
To list all the shit you speak
Man, the whole thing has been taking all my time
Taking all my time
It’s been taking all my time
It’s been taking all my time
It’s been taking all my time
Time
Time
Time
