Moonlight
Lily Kershaw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came to Paris to party
Didn't wanna hurt anybody
Like when you took me to leave me
And pretend you didn't need me
Oh, I am a mess I'm just trying to learn my lessons
Oh, I'm just tripping on things that I'm missing

Lying in the moonlight
Everything it felt so right
You used to love to take me home
We were lying in the moonlight
Everything it felt so right
You used to love to take me home

You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me home
You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me home

You said I'm scary and fun
You didn't know a gun is a gun
I wasn't looking for damage
Something you couldn't manage
You a mess just trying to learn your lesson
Oh, I'm just tripping on things that I'm missing

Lying in the moonlight
Everything it felt so right
You used to love to take me home
We were lying in the moonlight
Everything it felt so right
You used to love to take me home

You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me home
You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me home

Do you think of me when you can't sleep
Do you think of me when you can't sleep
Do you think of me when you can't sleep
Do you think of me when you can't sleep

Lying in the moonlight
Everything it felt so right
You used to love to take me home
We were lying in the moonlight
Everything it felt so right
You used to love to take me home

You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me

Lying in the moonlight
Everything it felt so right
You used to love to take me home
We were lying in the moonlight
Everything it felt so right
You used to love to take me home

You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me home
You used to love to take me




You used to love to take me
You used to love to take me home

Overall Meaning

The song "Moonlight" by Lily Kershaw is a melancholic piece that tells a story of a relationship that has ended, and the after-effects of it. The first verse seems to be Kershaw looking back on a past relationship, where she came to Paris to have fun with her partner, without intending to hurt anyone. However, her partner left her, pretending that they did not need her, which has left her feeling like a mess. She is trying to learn her lessons and feeling like she is missing something.


The chorus talks about how lying under the moonlight felt right, and how her partner used to love taking her there, but now it's all in the past. The second verse seems to express a different perspective, where Kershaw's partner called her scary but fun, but didn't know a gun is a gun. She wasn't looking to cause damage, but something her partner couldn't handle. Kershaw wonders if her partner still thinks about her when they can't sleep. The chorus repeats, highlighting the underlying theme of how things used to be great, but now it's all over, and the memories have become bittersweet.


Overall, "Moonlight" is a song about the aftermath of a relationship and the nostalgic feelings that come with it. It's a reflection of feelings that many people can relate to.
