  • The phone lights up in the dark, asks where you are and I start driving
    Meet me for a drink, just an hour, maybe two, maybe three, baby I'm in
    Girl, you can't take your eyes off me
    And that first kiss is sweet relief, ain't no one gotta know
    Just one more before you go

    I don't wanna be a liar
    I don't wanna be a fool
    I don't wanna be a secret but I will if you want me to
    You can leave me in the dark if that's all I get from you
    He can be the sun
    I'll be the moon
    Yeah, he can be the sun, I'll be the moon

    The phone lights up in the dark, gotta go, I know, but it still ain't easy
    Tomorrow, you'll be waking up beside him, tell him that you love him but you still see me
    In my mind when I'm looking at him
    And in my eyes it's the obvious elephant in the room
    He can't see it, but girl, you do

    I don't wanna be a liar
    I don't wanna be a fool
    I don't wanna be a secret but I will if you want me to
    You can leave me in the dark if that's all I get from you
    He can be the sun
    I'll be the moon
    Yeah, he can be the sun, I'll be the moon

    The phone lights up in the dark, yes, it's my turn and I start driving

    I don't wanna be a liar
    I don't wanna be a fool
    I don't wanna be a secret but this is something I can't lose
    You can leave me in the dark if that's all I get from you
    He can be the sun
    And I'll be the moon
    He can be the sun, I'll be the moon
