Future Islands
Like the Moon
She looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She sees everything
She knows me too well
And she looks like the day
She says, "it's the light"
Something in the way she says "goodbye"
And she looks like the moon
So close and, yet, so far
She says everything
She knows me too well
And I can call you "friend"
And I can be the world
Silent chatter held
I won't be around
And I can be a friend
But I won't be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don't push me out!
And she looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She says everything
She knows me too well
And I can call you "friend"
But I won't be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don't push me out...
We don't have to speak tonight
Just don't say "goodbye"
Making a home in my body
Letting it grow in my body
Taking these chains from my body
Letting it go from my body
Letting it go from my body
Taking these chains from my body
Is harder than you know
Oh!
And she looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She says everything
She knows me too well
And she looks like the day
She says, "it's the light"
Something in the way she says, "goodbye"
Just don't say goodbye
I can be the world, tonight
