Borrowed Moonlight

[Verse 1]

We close the place

Cups gone cold

You laugh too loud

So I don’t show

How my hands shake

Passing you your coat

Her name lights up

On your phone

[Chorus]

I love you in borrowed moonlight

In the corners, in the spaces you forget

You go home, I stay here

Teaching my heart what it can’t have yet

I love you in borrowed moonlight

Like a secret written small inside my skin

Every time you say goodbye

I swallow what it could have been

[Verse 2]

You call me first

When days go wrong

Lay all your breaks

Inside my songs

Your head on my

Shoulder for a beat

Then you stand up

Back on your feet

[Chorus]

I love you in borrowed moonlight

In the corners, in the spaces you forget

You go home, I stay here

Teaching my heart what it can’t have yet

I love you in borrowed moonlight

I love you in borrowed moonlight

Like a secret written small inside my skin

Every time you say goodbye

I swallow what it could have been

[Bridge]

If you were mine

Would the spell fade?

Would morning light

Wash this away?

So I keep still

Let the moment pass

Hold my breath

Till your shadow laps

[Chorus]

I love you in borrowed moonlight

In the corners, in the spaces you forget

You go home, I stay here

Teaching my heart what it can’t have yet

I love you in borrowed moonlight

And I’ll carry every almost, every when

Till the night I learn to love

Someone I can keep, not just pretend
