THE Forgotten moon [Verse 1] I found us in an old photograph, Faded at the corners, torn in half, You were leaning close, I wore that smile I haven't seen on me in quite a while. And suddenly the room grew still, Something underneath the years could feel, Like winter breaking in my chest, Like an old heart waking from its rest. [Pre-Chorus] I thought the years had taken everything, But buried things remember how to spring... [Chorus] The moon was always there, I just forgot to look above, I thought the light had disappeared, I thought I'd outlived love. But one old picture brought the rain To something sleeping deep in me— The moon was always there, I was the one who couldn't see. [Verse 2] Time doesn't leave us as we were, It lays another skin upon the hurt, A little fear, a little doubt, Till we forget what we were all about. But somewhere underneath it all, A tiny seed survived the fall, Waiting for a drop of rain, Waiting just to breathe again. [Pre-Chorus] And there you were inside that photograph, Holding the man I thought I couldn't get back... [Chorus] The moon was always there, I just forgot to look above, I thought the light had disappeared, I thought I'd outlived love. But one old picture brought the rain To something sleeping deep in me— The moon was always there, I was the one who couldn't see. [Bridge] Maybe I don't want the past again, Maybe that's not what this feeling means. Maybe I just miss the man I was Before I learned to hide my dreams. So let the old days stay behind, I won't go chasing yesterday— But if they left one spark alive, I'll carry that into today. [Breakdown] I held that picture to the light, And for a moment, there I was— Not young again, Not free from scars, Just brave enough To still want love. [Final Chorus] The moon was always there, Waiting above the clouds for me, The years can bury what we love, But buried doesn't mean deceased. And one old picture brought the rain, Now something green is breaking through— The moon was always there... And maybe I was waiting too. [Outro] So shine, old moon, I remember you. There's still a little sky For something new. The night was long, But now I know— Some seeds sleep for years Before they grow.
