The Moon
Cinders Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I find it kind of hard sometimes
Being on the opposite end
Of the bright side of the moon
Oh, the bright side of the moon
I'm holding out for something real
Something I can touch and feel
On the bright side of the moon
Looking for the bright side of the moon, yeah

Never felt the warmth of the sun
No matter how far I've run
Towards the bright side of the moon
Oh, the bright side of the moon
All I see are blues and greys
In my mind, there's no escape
Towards the bright side of the moon
I'm blocked from the bright side of the moon
I'm on pins and needles, you ask me how it feels
And I say, "Gravity has never weighed this much till today"
I'm on pins and needles, you ask me how it feels
And I say, "Gravity has never weighed this much till today"
I find it kind of hard sometimes
Being on the opposite end
Of the bright side of the moon
Oh, the bright side of the moon
I'm holding out for something real
Something I can touch and feel
On the bright side of the moon
Looking for the bright side of the moon, yeah

Looking for the bright side of the moon
Looking for the bright side of the moon, yeah
