Hello (hello, hello)
Hello? (hello?)
Is there anybody up here?
(Hello?) Welcome
Two-thousand-eighty-five, twenty-eighty-five, that is
(Just me up here, I guess)
The magic of the moment snuck up on me
And caught me by surprise (ooh, ooh, ooh)
One minute I'm lonely, yeah, I'm only
There's something in your eye (ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I know it's not just the song
(And I know it's not just the song)
And I know it's not just the drink
(And I know it's not the drink)
But whatever it might be (Whatever it might be)
Just keep holding on to me
(Ooh) 'cause I'll pull down a cloud for you
I'll circle the stars and bring you one back
I'll walk through the sun for you
'Cause there's something you do
That got me walkin' on the moon
There's something you do
That got me walkin' on the moon
Uh, uh, and I know that it's true, baby
You got me walkin' on the moon
Girl don't keep me waiting, I'm impatient
Hit my runway, and lets take off and fly
Now I'm where I wanna be, come co-pilot with me
Let's burn up the sky (oh)
And I know it's not just the song
(And I know it's not just the song)
And I know it's not just the drink
(I know it's not the drink)
But whatever it might be (Whatever it might be)
Just keep holding on to me (oh)
'Cause I'll pull down a cloud for you
(Pull a cloud for you)
I'll circle the stars and bring you one back
(Whatever you want, you know that you'll get it, baby)
I'll walk through the sun for you (ooh)
'Cause there's something you do (there's something)
(There's something you do)
That got me walkin' on the moon (uh)
There's something you do
That got me walkin' on the moon (ooh)(uh, uh)
And I know that it's true
Baby, you got me walkin' on the moon
Everyone out there will know that you are my girl
And my love will (Hey, hey, Dream, I'm too good at this)
Grow in circles around the world (Hey, what I do? Hey)
Uh, uh, uh, I cant contain it
No, no, no I cant restrain it
It's a lot of stars in here ain't it
But you shine so much they don't seem famous
Where'd you come from on this lonely night?
I swear god must of made lightning strike
And I bottled it up, we hit the red carpet and modeled it up
We hopped in the 'Rari and Prada'd it up
Now everybody clapping, they bravo'd it up
All just because its more than a buzz
More than a drink, but I took a few sips
And let it do what it does, now drunk texting
Like it's all about you, like I cant spend
Another minute without you
You know that drink let you say things
You ain't allowed to, things that you fear
But you're way to proud to say out loud
'Cause niggas gonna clown you, put your Blackberry down
People is around you, I'll put my Mac-berry down
I ain't trying to hound you, just trying to take you
Where the stars gonna surround you
And umm, maybe ice down you,
And umm, maybe wipe down you
And umm, maybe we should talk about all this
After I pound you
You know I'm just playing with you
I know a lot of people mad, 'cause they ain't with you
Wait, is it because we on the moon?
Tell 'em save the hate (Uh, got me walkin')
We'll be home soon (on the moon)
Uh, there's something you do
That got me walkin' on the moon, uh, uh
And I know that its true
Baby, you got me walkin' on the moon
Everyone out there will know that you are my girl
The Dream's "Walkin On The Moon" is a love song that describes the feeling of being in love, as if the beloved has the ability to take the singer to the moon. The song starts with the singer seemingly alone on the moon, expressing how the magic of the moment has caught him by surprise. The feeling he has towards his love is not just influenced by the surroundings, such as the music or the drink, but by something deeper. The singer explains that he would do anything for his beloved, even walking on the sun or bringing down the stars for her. The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing that the singer's strong feelings are driven by the mysterious power the lover possesses.
In the second verse, the desire to be with his lover has grown stronger, and the singer is imploring his lover not to keep him waiting, wanting to take off and fly with her. The singer again conveys the unexplainable feeling of love, which is not just down to the drink or the song they are dancing to. He expresses his genuine desire to do anything for his lover, just to make her happy. The bridge showcases the singer's feeling of love, and the fact that the love for his lover is spreading through the world like circles. The song ends with the promise of being with each other soon.

It's a lot of stars in here, ain't it
There are numerous renowned individuals present in this place, aren't there?
But you shine so much they don't seem famous
However, your radiance outshines them to the point where they do not appear as significant
Where'd you come from on this lonely night?
From where did you arrive on this solitary evening?
I swear god must've made lightning strike
I believe that a divine power caused an extraordinary meeting to occur
And I bottled it up, we hit the red carpet and modeled it up
I tried to contain my feelings, but then we attracted attention and displayed our relationship
We hopped in the 'Rari and Prada'd it up
We entered the luxurious Ferrari and adorned ourselves with Prada
Now everybody clapping, they bravo'd it up
Now everyone is applauding and expressing admiration
All just because it's more than a buzz
All of this is happening because our connection is deeper than a fleeting excitement
More than a drink, but I took a few sips
More profound than the influence of alcohol, although I did have a few drinks
And let it do what it does, now drunk texting
And allowed it to affect my behavior, now sending intoxicated text messages
Like it's all about you, like I can't spend
Expressing my focus and attention solely on you, as if I cannot spend
Another minute without you
Another moment in this existence without you
You know that drink let you say things
You are aware that alcohol often leads to expressing thoughts
You ain't allowed to, things that you fear
Thoughts and emotions that you are hesitant to disclose
But you're way too proud to say out loud
However, you possess excessive pride and choose not to vocalize them
'Cause n***** gonna clown you, put your Blackberry down
Because individuals may ridicule and mock you, refrain from using your Blackberry
People is around you, I'll put my Mac-berry down
As there are people present, I will also put away my MacBook
I ain't trying to hound you, just trying to take you
I am not attempting to pester you, just aiming to accompany you
Where the stars gonna surround you
To a place where the stars will envelop you
And umm, maybe ice down you
And perhaps cool you down with ice
And umm, maybe wipe down you
And maybe wipe you clean
And umm, maybe we should talk about all this
And maybe we should discuss all of this
After I pound you
After I have intense sexual intercourse with you
You know I'm just playing with you
You understand that I am joking, right?
I know a lot of people mad, 'cause they ain't with you
I am aware that many individuals are envious because they are not in your presence
Wait, is it because we on the moon?
Could it be because we are in an extraordinary situation?
Tell 'em save the hate (Uh, got me walkin')
Instruct them to refrain from expressing negativity (Uh, got me feeling ecstatic)
We'll be home soon (on the moon)
We will return home shortly (from this blissful state)
Uh, there's something you do
There is a particular thing you do
That got me walkin' on the moon, uh, uh
That has caused me to feel ecstatic and elated
And I know that it's true
And I am certain that it is genuine
Baby, you got me walkin' on the moon
Darling, you have me in a state of joy and euphoria
Everyone out there will know that you are my girl
The entire world will be aware of your status as my romantic partner
