[Verse 1]
I feel the way you want me
I see that you are lonely
If you could I know you'd leave with me
It's more than curiosity
And I've never longed for winter
Until your presence made me shiver
Untethered you'd be better
If you'd only come with me

[Chorus]
One night
I will be the moon
Hanging over you
Spilling all over your body
Covering all your wounds
One night
I will be the star
Falling where you are
Swimming in the deep of my love
Filling your empty heart
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night

[Verse 2]
You've come so close to tasting
Now my innocence is breaking
Like the ocean in a perfect storm
It makes me want you even more
And I've never been so jealous
I've never felt so helpless
So out of breath and hungry for you

[Chorus]
One night
I will be the moon
Hanging over you
Spilling all over your body
Covering all your wounds
One night
I will be the star
Falling where you are
Swimming in the deep of my love
Filling your empty heart
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night

[Bridge]
Hurry the sun is waking
Darling don't leave me waiting

[Chorus]
One night
I will be the moon
Hanging over you
Spilling all over your body
Covering all your wounds
One night
I will be the star
Falling where you are
Swimming in the deep of my love
Filling your empty heart
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
One night
