Lunar Lament

Under moonlit rooftops, I count my quiet breaths

Starlight on my sleeves,

like letters I never sent (ahhhh)

I walk the same street,

where we said “someday”

The night keeps the secret,

but my heart gives it away

If I reach for your hand,

I just hold the air

And the sky feels so bright,

it’s almost unfair (ooh)

The moon in the water won’t stay when I move So

I’m learning to hurt,

without losing the truth

Say my name in the stars,

if you still can

I’ll answer in silence,

the best that I can (ahhhh)

Starlight, cover me, I’m breaking in the glow

Hold me like the night does,

when nobody knows

If love is a distance,

I’ll cross it alone

Moonlight, don’t leave me here,

turning into stone (oh-oh)

Your picture in my pocket

is fading in time

But I trace every edge,

like a prayer in a line

Friends say “let it go”,

like it’s easy to do

Yet every new sunrise still looks like you (ooh)

If I could rewind the night,

I would stay on that last train

Tell you all the words I swallowed,

let them fall like rain

But the world keeps turning,

and I’m learning to be brave

Even under moonlight,

even in this wave (ahhhh)

Starlight, cover me,

I’m breaking in the glow

Hold me like the night does,

when nobody knows

If love is a distance,

I’ll cross it alone

Moonlight, don’t leave me here,

turning into stone (oh-oh)

Moonlight stays, but you don’t

So I’ll let the starlight close the door (ahhhh)
