New Moon
A hot summer night and the two of us
A worn-out blanket, the stars peek out
We talk for hours, nothing to discuss
I lean towards you and there’s nothing to doubt
Words stop and silence surrounds
You close your eyes, we come so close
Our lips touch on that soft grassy ground
Then you pull away, cheek brushing nose
You look at me and deep down I know
I brush your cheek, but it's far too late
Make this all last, make time go slow
I’d be your king but it's one move to ‘mate
We shed no tears but we say goodbye
Stars cross the heavens, but we fall to earth
You say don't worry, you say that you’re fine
I wish I knew then, how much it would hurt
The heat slowly fades-summer to chill
We were in love but met too soon
I replay that night and I miss you still
But my nights without you: a sky with New Moon
There’s no going back, nothing could be done
Our stars weren’t aligned, the time was all wrong
I hope you find joy, hope you had fun
Now that it finished, all we’ve got is this song

This is a rhymed verse about a relationship that started too soon. The people were right, but the timing was wrong. These lyrics explain how people were meant to be together, but fate forced them apart. The brief love that they shared was intense and powerful, but it faded just as fast.
