Whistling
Moonchild Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stay too long
It's taking all my energy
To smile and to breathe
(Waiting on an apology)
I can't stay too long
The wind is strong and I'm paper thin
Holding on and whistling
I'm gonna get out of town
Don't know when I'll be back, back around
I'm gonna get out of town
Don't know when I'll be back, back around
I'm gonna get out of town
Don't know when I'll be back around
I'm gonna get out of town
Don't know when I'll be back around
Got to, got to go got to, got to go
Got to, got to go got to, got to go
Got to, got to go got to, got to go
Got to, got to go got to, got to go

I can't stay too long
It's taking all my energy
To smile and to breathe
(Waiting on an apology)
I can't stay too long




The wind is strong and I'm paper thin
Holding on and whistling

Lyrics ❤️
i can’t stay too long
it’s taking all my energy 
to smile and to breathe 
(waiting on an apology) 

i can’t stay too long
the wind is strong and i’m paper thin
holding on and whistling 

i’m gonna get out of town
don’t know when i’ll be back, back around 
i’m gonna get out of town
don’t know when i’ll be back, back around 
2x

got to, got to go, i got to, got to go 
got to, got to go, i got to, got to go 
2x

i can’t stay too long
it’s taking all my energy 
to smile and to breathe  

i can’t stay too long
the wind is strong and i’m paper thin
holding on and whistling

Moonchild definitely makes me want to get off of planet Earth and find another solar system with more evolved beings with less drama and more common sense.
