moon
Lil Seyi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to be with you anymore
You don't want to be with me anymore
(And that's fine)
It was fun while it lasted
(Ooh ahh)
But there's been a void since it ended
(Ooh and thats fine)

Take me to the moon
It cant happen, did it happen?
Take me to the moon
I'll believe it when I see it
Take me to the moon
It cant happen, did it happen?
Take me to the moon
I'll believe it when I see it

The one who knows everything might've gave a couple warnings
But I waited for the third, so, lets not really talk about it
That night, I had a dream that I wont speak about so
Trinity Finity, but I was always good at keeping quiet
The clay stayed the same but the rest divided
If you tried to force it then the laws of physics won't allow it
Did you know I'd get that call at 1 am from my best friend
Did you know I cried with no one around to even listen
Did you know I skipped my breakfast
Did you know that we're so different
Did you know I talked to endless people
Wondering should we end it
Did you know I planned to take you
Somewhere nice before the weekend
Did you my feelings wreckless
Did you know I liked

Take me to the moon
It cant happen, did it happen?
Take me to the moon
I'll believe it when I see it.
Take me to the moon
It cant happen, did it happen?
Take me to the moon
I'll believe it when I see it
Take me to the moon, don't you treat me like a fool
Take me to the moon, don't you treat me like a fool
Take me to the moon, don't you treat me like a fool
Take me to the moon, don't you treat me like a fool

The sun goes up and the moon comes down
Do you see it? Can you see it?

The sun goes up and the moon comes down
Do you see it? Can you see it?
