Moonlight
Chase Atlantic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught up in your own small world
Well, I might wanna see it then
Call it hesitation, girl
We're running in the moonlight
We're dancing in the open waves
You're hangin' for a good timeSomething that'll make you stay
And girl, you fall down again
You tell me you're all out again
We're running in the moonlight
Could you show me the way again?
Oh, oh, oh
You're talking in and out of the subject
Just call me when you're finished, are you done yet, girl?
You're falling in and out through a sunset
And I just wanna know if you're in love yet girl
She just wants to talk through the daytime
And I just want it all when the time's right
Yeah, she's about to fall for the third time
The nature of it all
Busy on the weekend
Caught up in your own small world
Well, I might wanna see it then
Call it hesitation, girl
We're running in the moonlight
We're dancing in the open waves
You're hangin' for a good time
Something that'll make you stay
And girl, you fall down again
You tell me you're all out again
We're running in the moonlight
Could you show me the way again?
Oh, oh, oh
We're diving through the bottom of the ocean
Swimming through a bottle of emotions, girl
Maybe I was thinking you would notice
I was runnin' through the forest when I wrote this, girl
And she just wants to talk through the daytime
And I just want it all when the time's right
Yeah, she's about to fall for the third time
The nature of it all
Busy on the weekend
Caught up in your own small world
Well, I might wanna see it then
Call it hesitation, girl
We're running in the moonlight
We're dancing in the open waves
You're hangin' for a good time
Something that'll make you stay
And girl, you fall down again
You tell me you're all out again
We're running in the moonlight
Could you show me the way again?
Oh, oh, oh
In Chase Atlantic's "Moonlight," the song lyrics portray the story of two lovers entangled in each other but with apparent hesitations. The girl seems to be caught up in her own world, and the singer cannot understand her ambiguity. He is searching for clarity, and the song creates a mood of frustration as he seeks her understanding. The track's lyrics are filled with sensuous imagery that highlights the bittersweet, complicated mechanics of intimacy.
In the chorus, the two lovers are depicted as running in the moonlight and dancing in the open waves, trying to sort out their emotions, which is the only way to reconcile their loneliness. The singer is reaching out, hoping for the girl to give him a sign that she is ready to dive into the relationship completely. The bridge is a bit self-reflective, and the lyrics indicate that the singer is in love with the girl and is waiting for the right time and the right signs to make a move.
Overall, the song has a wistful, embracing, and sultry sound that complements the lyrics, expressing the complexity and the diverse colors of love.

Busy on the weekend
You've got so many plans for the weekend
Caught up in your own small world
Lost in your own daily routine, oblivious to everything else
Well, I might wanna see it then
But I'd like to see your world too
Call it hesitation, girl
Maybe call it apprehension, dear
We're running in the moonlight
We're running wild and free under the moonlight
We're dancing in the open waves
Our bodies swaying to the rhythm of the waves
You're hangin' for a good time
You're yearning for a moment of fun and excitement
Something that'll make you stay
Something that'll make you wanna stay with me
And girl, you fall down again
And you stumble and fall again, my dear
You tell me you're all out again
You tell me you're exhausted again
We're running in the moonlight
We're back to running wild in the moonlight
Could you show me the way again?
Can you guide me again?
You're talking in and out of the subject
You keep changing the subject abruptly
Just call me when you're finished, are you done yet, girl?
Just let me know when you're done, darling
You're falling in and out through a sunset
Your mood keeps changing quickly through the sunset
And I just wanna know if you're in love yet, girl
I just wanna know if you've found love, my dear
She just wants to talk through the daytime
She just wants to chat all day long
And I just want it all when the time's right
And I badly want everything when the timing is right
Yeah, she's about to fall for the third time
Yes, she's almost going to fall for the third time
The nature of it all
The essence of everything
We're diving through the bottom of the ocean
We're exploring the depths of the ocean
Swimming through a bottle of emotions, girl
Navigating through a sea of intense emotions, my dear
Maybe I was thinking you would notice
Perhaps, I was hoping you'd notice
I was runnin' through the forest when I wrote this, girl
I came up with this while running through the woods

In the end is it a moan or a guitar because my sister won’t stop arguing with me about it being a guitar and I said no it’s a moan
