[Verse 1]
Tonight is everlasting, burned in our memories
Forever and ever on and doing what we please
You and me held safe in the sweet purple night
Capture us in photographs; oh, what a perfect sight
[Refrain]
I am the moon
I am the moon
[Verse 2]
Tomorrow is uncertain; who knows where we'll be?
Lost again in the future, we've got what we need
I promise to make it count so we can live through these hours
Dark skies and whispered answers 'til the morning overpowers
[Refrain]
And you are the moon
You are the moon
[Bridge]
I can't stand the daylight now; I make my home in velvet night
I lie in bed and wonder why, I wonder why we said goodbye
There's always the feeling I can never escape
It stays with me whenever I'm awake
Blackness closes around my head
And I feel so lost, I might as well be dead
[Verse 3]
Yesterday was hopeless, let's leave it all behind
There's nothing but these moments now; the rest is blind
It feels like I'm falling backwards with you there to catch me
Hell and heaven, dark and light, you know I've never been this free
[Refrain]
We are the moon
We are the moon
(Tonight is everlasting, tomorrow is uncertain)
We are the moon
(Yesterday was hopeless, let's leave it all behind)
We are the moon
(Tonight is everlasting, tomorrow is uncertain)
We are the moon
(Leave it all behind, let's leave it all behind)
We are the moon
