Moon Child Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And take a minute
I've been sitting here and wondering
If you're willing
Well, are you willing baby?
I would show you
The many ways that I can die before you

[Chorus]
Cause you are all I need
I'm begging you please
Cause you are all I need
I'm begging you please


[Verse 2]
Take it easy
Did you really think that I would
Let you leave me?
Well, are you leaving baby?
I would show you
The many ways that I can die before you

[Chorus]
Cause you are all I need
I'm begging you please
You are all I need
I'm begging you please
[Bridge]
It's a lot better with you
I don't wanna hear the truth
Stop pulling me down, down, down, down, down
Stop telling me to love
I just thought you had enough
Start pulling me down, down, down, down, down

Darling, darling, stay with me
I know it's easier to kill than things to grow
I was waiting by the window for a while
I'm on knees begging for things I've asked you a million times

I really want you to go
I really want you to go

[Outro]
Darling, take me over
I don't wanna feel right
When we're getting older
Find another moon child
