Why does the moon appear to move alongside you?

You know, when you’re either walking, driving, or otherwise moving around at night the moon appears to be “following” you. I would assume it’s due to the scale/distance or something internally in our bodies related to coordination.

You noticed how objects closer to you “move” faster when you go by due to perspective? The Moon is just so far away that it seems stationary. The Sun is even farther. The clouds are much closer but still pretty far away for this effect.
