"...it's so painful, something that's so close, but still so far out of reach..."

"...And then she looks me in the eye, says, we gonna last forever,
And man, you know I cant begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we aint never goin change our minds about it..."

"...I'll be the boy in the corduroy pants
You be the girl at the high school dance
Run with me wherever I go
And just play dumb, whatever you know..."

Those are my exact favorite lines. That stare at the moon one really gets me. They all do. I usually cry at the one from american girl you just posted. Nostalgia hits me hard, though. I just started crying reading it. I love him.
