Man on the Moon Lyrics
I had a dream that the sun in the sky
Was feeling so lonely, he started to cry
The rain on our window kept us inside
All of the morning and into the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone in my dream room, I want to love you
Alone in my dream room, my body above you
[Chorus]
I'm just a man on the moon
I'm not coming down anytime soon
I'm just a man on the moon
Feet off the ground, I'm floating in you
[Verse 2]
Nobody saw us for seven days
Under the covers, your body a maze
I couldn't believe that deep down inside
Two bodies glowing could light up the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone in my dream room, I want to love you
Alone in my dream room, my body above you
I'm just a man on the moon
I'm not coming down anytime soon
I'm just a man on the moon
Feet off the ground, I'm floating in you
[Bridge]
I'm in your dreams now
I'm in your dreams now
I'm in your dreams now
I'm in your dreams, in your dreams, in your dreams
I'm in your dreams now
I'm in your dreams now
I'm in your dreams now
I'm in your dreams, in your dreams, in your dreams
[Chorus]
(I'm in your dreams now)
I'm just a man on the moon (I'm in your dreams now)
(I'm in your dreams now)
I'm not coming down anytime soon
(I'm in your dreams, in your dreams, in your dreams)
(I'm in your dreams now)
I'm just a man on the moon (I'm in your dreams now)
(I'm in your dreams now)
Feet off the ground, I'm floating in you
(I'm in your dreams, in your dreams, in your dreams)
(I'm in your dreams now)
Feet off the ground, I'm floating in you (I'm in your dreams now)
(I'm in your dreams now)
Feet off the ground, I'm floating in you
About
Day began performing the song on tour in the summer of 2016, and released it on October 21. In a recent interview, Day reported the song was actually not about her, but derived from a friend. She tells us one of her friends went on a date to the “New York Dream Room”, a small, secluded home in the bustle of NYC. There are rooms covered head to toe in pale neon lights, where you just sit in and sort of zone out, as if being in a trance. She took the feeling her friend described, and the scenario, to create a song channeling the energy. A psychedelic and illume piece of artistry that certainly does have the ability to make you feel as if you have been transported to an alternate place in time & space. To the heights, and odd gravitational pull of the moon.
