You’re exactly like the moon
With all its different phases
The moon that’s tattooed on your forearm
The moon that’s covering your paintings
And just like the moon
You are bold and apparent
With certainly nothing to hide
But although you’re this way
You’re still so far away
To truly understand you up close
So I lie awake sleepless
Because the moon’s made of secrets
As it sits alone in the sky
And now you’re waning and whining
You’re fading, you’re dying
As the sun tries to take over the show
Glowing palely, you shine
As you live for the nightlife
You’re high and you’re faded again
We moondance
We’re kissing
By daytime you’re missing
The light breaks the morning horizon
So by the light of the moon
I’ll see you soon
Living at night because you’re a beautiful sight
But by the time I see light
I’m just another admirer with drowsy eyes

You’re still so far away
To truly understand you up close
So I lie awake sleepless
Because the moon’s made of secrets
As it sits alone in the sky
And now you’re waning and whining
You’re fading, you’re dying
As the sun tries to take over the show
Glowing palely, you shine
As you live for the nightlife
You’re high and you’re faded again
We moondance
We’re kissing
By daytime you’re missing
The light breaks the morning horizon
So by the light of the moon
I’ll see you soon
Living at night because you’re a beautiful sight
But by the time I see light
I’m just another admirer with drowsy eyes
