Many Moons
JVLY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To hear what they're telling me
I don′t wanna know
Another moon
Gone by like a bullet of lead
The thought of you
Orbits and wraps round my head
Your image on my brain and it weighs a tonne
Time to face the sun
Just hope it's not late, time waits for none
I don't know how long it would take for me
To say I′m done with you
It′s been a while
Are you still licking your wounds?
I know that I did some damage to you
Time to face the sun
Your image on my brain and it weighs a tonne
Time to face the sun
Just hope it's not late, time waits for none
Time to face the sun
