These long, hot dead end nights are cold
And I just keep on slipping away
'Cause I'm scared to death of what's outside
My heart, it only keeps me awake

And in the bedroom I am hiding
Through the window you can see
In the dim light I am not aching
If there's a problem, it's not to me

And the moon is shining
And it makes me carry on
When you're least expecting
It will bring you to your knees

I hear the distant calls
And I think about the things they could mean
And maybe I've been living blind
Just believing what I can see

And in the bedroom I am hiding
Through the window you can see
In the dim light I am not aching
If there's a problem, it's not to me

And the moon is shining
And it makes me carry on
When you're least expecting
It will bring you to your knees

Now keep it inside, there's no better mine
I cannot explain if you're not here
We'll keep it inside there is no better mine
I cannot explain if you're not here

And the moon is shining
And it makes me carry on
When you're least expecting
It will bring you to your knees

Oh, love to be here but how can I stay?
Oh, hate to be here but how can I go?

You’re the moonshine
Your aura separates the night
So I can drive on in
Drive into your life
But don’t you worry
Try not to hurry
But don’t forget to
Smell the roses
The flowers that I got for you
To mend the wound inside
In the distant place where I can run
With you all night
You’re like the moonshine

Moonshine stepping in from my skyline
Getting ready to figure it out
Figure why we had to fall apart
You’re a moonshine
Stepping in from my skyline
Can I get a minute to figure it out
Figure why we had to fall apart
Apart, apart…

Keep your composure
Don’t let no-body else inside
The circle that remains tragic
Somehow ancient and less abusive to you
But you know how to get through
Everything there’s problems surrounding
So many problems surrounding

I’m gonna mend the wound inside
In a distant place where I can
Run with you all night
You’re a moonshine

Moonshine stepping in from my skyline
Can I get a minute to figure it out
Figure why we had to fall apart, fall apart
Moonshine stepping in from my skyline
Can I get a minute to figure it out
Figure why we had to fall apart

Why we had to fall apart
Why we had to fall apart
Like the moonshine

Won’t you worry
Won’t you worry your life away
Moonshine stepping in front of my skyline
Can I get a minute to figure it out
Figure why we had to fall apart, apart
Moonshine stepping in front of my skyline
Can I get a minute to figure it out
Figure why we had to fall apart

Got you in the palm of my hands
Got you in the palm of my hands
Got you in the palm of my hands
Got you in the palm of my hands

Do a dance
Do a dance
Do a dance

Got you in the palm of my hands
Got you in the palm of my hands

(moonshine girlllll)

Hello, you know you look even better
Than the way you did the night before
And the moment that you kissed my lips
You know I start to feel wonderful

It's something incredible
There's sex in your chemicals
Ooh, let's go, you're the best way
I know to escape the extraordinary

This world ain't for you and I know
For damn sure this world ain't for me
Lift off and say goodbye
Just let your fire set me free, oh

Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time

I know, I was with you last night
But it feels like it's been so long
And everybody that's around, they know
That I'm not myself when you gone
It's good to see you again, good to see you again

On top of the world
Is where I stand when you're back in my life
Life's not so bad when you're way up this high
Everything is alright, everything is alright

Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, oh

Moonshine, your love, it makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time

Don't look down, don't you never look back
We are not afraid to die young and live fast
Give me good times, give me love, give me laughs
Let's take a ride to the sky before the night is gone

Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, oh

Moonshine, your love, it makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time

Floating in the everglades
Faces lit in sun
A moon that lights a thousand ways across
Is company for one

Ooh won't you come back to me
Ooh won't you shine out for me

Falling down from grace
In houses made for one
Holding matches 'til they burn away
Ashes to the wind

Ooh won't you come back to me
Ooh won't you shine out for me

[Chorus:]
Only you, it's only for you
Always true
But time is passing by
Only you
Always you
But every time we cry
We wave the sun goodbye
Moonshine

Desolate the renegades
Poisoned tongues persuade
Take the hand that carried you above
Oceans to the grave

Ooh won't you come back to me
Ooh won't you shine out for me

[Chorus]

Tear yourself, you tear yourself.... [repeat]
Going over every minute every second in your mind
Turning over catching fragments of a life before you die
Going over every second, every minute left behind...

It's only for you
Always true
But time is passing by
Only you, always you
But every time we cry
We wave the sun goodbye
Moonshine

[Chorus]

Hello
You know you look even better than the way you did the night before
And the moment that you kissed my lips you know I started to feel wonderful
It's something incredible, there's sex in your chemicals
oh, let's go
You're the best way I know to escape the extraordinary
This world aint for you, and I know for damn sure this world aint for me
Lift off and say goodbye
Just let your fire set me free
Ohhh

Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time

I know, I was with you last night but it feels like it's been so long
And everybody that's around they know that im not myself when you are gone
It's good to see you again, good to see you again
On top of the world, is where I stand when you're back in my life
Life's not so bad when you're way up this high
Everything is alright, everything is alright

Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, ohh

Moonshine, your lovin makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time

Don't look down no don't ever look back
We are not afraid to die young and live fast
Give me good times, give me love, give me laughs
Let's take a ride to the sky before the night is gone

Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, ohh

Moonshine, your lovin makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time

Chorus
I can't go no where, unless you're by my side
I gotta have you here, I said right here by my side
I can't roam the town, unless you're by my side
I gotta have you around, Right here by my side

So wher's my moonshine, Cos I'll be all up in the club
with you yeah
So where's my moonshine, Ya know I spend my last dub
for you yeah
So where's my moonshine, I feel so nice with you yeah
So where's my moonshine, Wanna spend my whole life
with you yeah

I snuck into this club when I was 15
and I met my girl at the bar such a sweet thing
Every time I held her she would always kiss me
Every touch of her lips would always make me tipsy
I told her man I love you, pulled her to the dance floor
And that's when she whispered, be careful what you ask for
I grabbed her by the waist and I sat her on the table
Explained how her heartburn she's giving me is painful
And now you wanna leave cause you feel empty inside
Well none of my friends trust me with you to drive
I'm so into you I hope you're feeling it
I need you in my life and the reason is

Chorus

How many times I gotta tell you why you stressing me for
Yeah I see you need attention I ain't tryin' to ignore
I gotta straighten up now I got work to do
You want me to drop everything so it surrounds you
Man I love you so much it makes me sick to my stomach
And I love it how I can vomit and you think nothing of it
I never meant to argue with you, please forgive
Girl I need you in my life and the reason is

Chorus

Ya see my moonshine she keeps me warm when it rains
I forget my problems when she eases the pain
And my friends keep telling me to call it a day
She don't love you savage its all in ya brain
See I don't believe a word that you say to my face
I'm in love and I know she feels the same
I'll buy you all the ice you want, and I'll keep you safe
Man I love my alcohol, what more can I say

Chorus

I can?t remember what it is you did
Somewhere along the way I?m giving in
I know I feel you when you?re not around
Just like the angles from underground

What am I trying to say

The thing that I don?t get about you
The way it makes me feel around you
You make the wrong seem right
Any old time of night
What is it I

I get so nervous when I hear the phone
You blocked the number so I never know
I can?t forget the way you sound
And now I can?t remember
How I did without

What am I trying to say

The thing that I don?t get about you
The way it makes me feel around you
You make the wrong seem right
Any old time of night
How is it when it rains at nighttime
You turn the water into moonshine
And make the sun shine light
Carry on through the night

I can?t remember what it is you did
Somewhere along the way I?m giving in
I never meant to fall this hard again
Good things are all good until the end

What am I trying to say

The thing that I don?t get about you
The way it makes me feel around you
You make the wrong seem right
Any old time of night
How is it when it rains at nighttime
You turn the water into moonshine
And make the sun shine light
Carry on through the night

Sitting in a graveyard
Waiting for the dawn
Leaning on my tombstone
Till the night is gone

Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish i could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
And cry

My woman was so lovely
Together we were one
No sunshine in my weary eyes
Now that she has gone

Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish I could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
And cry

Palm trees whisper to me
From your spreading height
Tell me all the loney stories
Of the world at night

Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish I could find out
The reason why

I sit here alone
And cry

Spoken:
Well, I've got one memory thats always been with me.
My dad would get up to go surf about 4:30 or 5:00 and sometimes
I would hear him and go out in the living room and he'd be getting is board up,
out of the closet, like right in the dining
room where he kept his board.
And one day I remember the waves were really good.
And um, it was really cool just getting up
and going down there, it was off-shore.
I remember just sitting there watching my dad surf and from that point on,
I always kinda like.. felt like a surfer, you know?
I always knew that I would definitely.. be surfing forever.
