Moonlight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under moonlight
A violent tide comes in
The streets are wild
With desperate children waiting for me

[Chorus 1]
It came like a wave
They came crashing over me
If I could breathe I could swim away

[Verse 2]
The strangers danced
In killer drag and kicks
They trick and treat
And smoke up chimneys, the Christmas list

[Chorus 2]
It came like a wave
They came crashing over me
If I could breathe, I could swim away

It came like a wave
No one can be me but me
If I could stand I could run away
Run away
[Chorus 2]
It came like a wave
They came crashing over me
If I could breathe, I could swim away

It came like a wave
No one can be me but me
If I could stand I could run away

It came like a wave
And knocked me down to my knees
If I could stand I could run away
Run away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Perhaps the darkest song on the album. It tells a tale of flooding at a populated town. Which could be connected to a time when Sebastian was assaulted by a mob in Dallas
