Moonlight on the dashboard glass Like it knows I’m not over you And the ocean in my head tonight Keeps pulling me back to you [Verse 1] I drive alone in lunar gravity My chest feels heavier than it should Every thought comes back in waves Even when I say I’m good You’re the voice inside the static Between leaving and staying still Like even when you disappear Something in you never will I don’t know if I’m chasing you Or just circling what we were But every road turns into water Every mile turns into a blur [Pre-Chorus] And I ask the dark so quietly “Do tides ever really leave?” But the moon just keeps on watching me Like it already knows my grief [Chorus] You’re the moon, I’m the ocean Pulling back but never gone Rough when the night gets broken Soft when the hurt moves on I feel you under everything Even when you’re out of sight ‘Cause you’re the moon, I’m the ocean And I come back after every fight No matter how far we wander No matter how lost we’ve been You don’t leave me, you don’t chase me, you just embrace me And then every morning, you feel me return again [Verse 2] I used to think love was leaving Like distance meant the end Now I see it’s more like breathing, always coming back again And even when I break apart You don’t let me disappear You just pull me back together Like gravity pulling near You know I don’t wanna leave again, But it’s something I can’t escape You’re the moon, I’m the ocean Pulling back but never gone Rough when the night gets broken Soft when the hurt moves on [Build] The engine turns into ocean sound Headlights stretch into blue And I can’t tell if I’m drowning, drifting Or getting pulled back through [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (adding stereo ping-pong, panning effects)] [Final Verse] Morning hits the windshield slow Like it never left the sea And I realize nothing left me It just changed inside of me You were never really gone at all Just the tide doing what it does Pulling back to find its balance Like it always was [Final Chorus] You’re the moon, I’m the ocean Pulling back but never gone Rough when the night gets broken Soft when the hurt moves on I feel you under everything Even when you’re out of sight ‘Cause you’re the moon, I’m the ocean And I come back every night No matter how far I wander No matter how lost I’ve been You don’t leave me, you just change me And I return again [Outro (adding stereo panning, ping-pong effects)] Moonlight… ocean… pulling me back Moonlight… ocean… I don’t fight that Moonlight… ocean… I come back Every night… every night…
