lyrics

leaves are turning red
and the world takes a breath
I have so much to say to you
when we meet again

and I feel so unseen
like a full moon on a cloudy night
But if I listen harder in the dark
I swear I can hear you smile

I want a moon, a moon, a moon tattoo
cuz the moon, the moon, to me is you
mark me silver, black, and navy blue
It's an honor to miss you

Cuz I see you when I gaze at the moon
And I miss you more on bright afternoons
already dyed my hair, what else can I do?
Guess I'll just get a moon tattoo

This pain slips through the cracks
in my daily routine
And tonight this wound is scabbing over
but I miss how it used to bleed

and why was I not warned
that these scars would itch?
All I want is for there to be
more to our story than this

I want a moon, a moon, a moon tattoo
cuz the moon, the moon, to me is you
say you're still with me, though it isn't true
This ink, this sting, I need this proof

Cuz I see you when I gaze at the moon
And I miss you more on bright afternoons
already dyed my hair, what else can I do?
Guess I'll just get a moon tattoo

Da da da da
