Man On the Moon Lyrics

Lyric discussion by KathRAN 

Cover art for Man On the Moon lyrics by Phillip Phillips

The narrator in this song is singing to a friend who's made some bad choices, or hasn't been as loyal as the narrator has been to the friend. The friend doesn't believe the narrator, and thinks that whatever they are doing is right. The narrator thinks its time to let this friend go, so that this friend can find his/her inner self, and realize the mistakes they made.

Hold on it won't take long You can find yourself if you decide to finally start Don't run to me when you fall

The narrator is saying that whatever this friend did or believes, they will find out soon enough that they were wrong, however the narrator doesn't want the friendship back.
