Moonlight
Jaron Utt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never seen the moonlight hit the water
Never had fulfillment when I wander
Hello who I once was, tell me who I once was

Never gone without you once and been fine
I don't see a different turnout tonight
I don't think my mind's right, tell me if my mind's right
All these things will break and dry
But they won't dry my crying eyes
When everything comes falling to the ground
And everything that isn't you
Will run from me in fancy shoes
And I'll be left with nothing on the ground
So I'll just go with you

Never held my own in a fist fight
I don't see a different turn out tonight
Camera flash at midnight, tell me if my mind's right

All these things will break and dry
But they won't dry my crying eyes
When everything comes falling to the ground
And everything that isn't you
Will run from me in fancy shoes
And I'll be left with nothing on the ground

All these things will break and dry
But they won't dry my crying eyes
When everything comes falling to the ground
And everything that isn't you
Will run from me in fancy shoes
And I'll be left with nothing on the ground
So I'll just go with you




I'll just go with you
I'll just go with you instead

Never seen the moonlight hit the water
I have never experienced the peaceful combination of the shining moon and its reflection on the calm water


Never had fulfillment when I wander
I have never found satisfaction while aimlessly wandering through life


Hello who I once was, tell me who I once was

All these things will break and dry
Everything in life is transient and will eventually deteriorate or disappear


But they won't dry my crying eyes

When everything comes falling to the ground
During times of hardship and turmoil, everything seems to crumble and fall apart


And everything that isn't you
Anything and everything that is not you or does not involve you


Will run from me in fancy shoes

So I'll just go with you

Never held my own in a fist fight
I have never been victorious or successful in a physical altercation


Camera flash at midnight, tell me if my mind's right

So proud of my amazing wife and family! Not enough people get to witness the joy that the steelpan brings to the world. I was gleaming while watching my wife speak so eloquently and my children playing so masterfully, all on pans that my father in law built. I wish the sound on this video truly captured how magical it sounded that night at the Roxian Theatre, it’s one of the reasons why they got a standing ovation.
