Shoot the Moon Lyrics

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked, if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?

Now the fall is here again
You can't begin to give in
It's all over
When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

What is the Meaning of Shoot the Moon?

When life hands you lemons, sometimes the best you can do is aim for the moon and miss spectacularly—welcome to love in the off-season! Norah Jones croons about the cyclical nature of relationships, much like the annual clearance sale at your favorite store. The summer of love fades faster than your favorite ice cream in July, leaving you with a room that's emptier than your Friday night plans. Fall swoops in, and accepting it's over feels like trying to resist holiday discounts—futile. But as winter approaches, a new romance rolls in like snow, just as temporary. The chorus reminds us of those moments when we thought we had love all figured out, only to realize it was just another season in our emotional calendar. So, dust off your heart, embrace the chill, and remember: it's always sweater weather somewhere.
