Lyrics:

Verse 1
You like it when I wear my hair down but
I say that way it just gets in my eyes
you say that’s exactly what you like so much
I think that sums us up
sometimes
I’ll be
your favorite me
mostly carefree
laughs easily
but what you can’t see
in my routine
is how hard it gets to keep the heartbeat clean
I can see the problem (clearly) clearly
I can see the simple fact is
that you like me in theory (clearly)
and I like you back in practice

HOOK 1
I’m a moon for you
give you just the good side
save you all the best lines
sometimes I wish that I was
immune to you
could see you and go right by
pull myself away from your high tide

VERSE 2
I’ll be fine again by morning, right
I set a timer to remind myself
nights are just sentimental for me, why
of all of the people on the planet
can’t think of anybody else
I know we’re sposed
to keep it light, but
no one can pick their appetites, so
I think I’m done up on the tight rope
I want a love that feels like more than just survival

BRIDGE
My beauty
my anger
my sadness
all anchored
they’re fused to the bone
you can’t take some
and leave some
I’m this way for a reason
you gotta love it all whole
or let it all go

HOOK 2
But there’s room for two
we could share a flashlight
you and me by a landslide every time
but if it’s true that you
don’t feel so satisfied by it
I won’t wait around and wonder why

HOOK 1
I’m a moon for you
give you just the good side
save you all the best lines
sometimes I wish that I was
immune to you
could see you and go right by
could pull myself away from your high tide
