[Verse 1]
Don't close your eyes or I might drift away
Under the night, my image bends its shape
I'll be written on the wind
Like in every sailor's dream
Heading for the moon
I reach out, my pulse begins to race
The crashing sounds of fears I've never faced
Let them echo off these waves
With thoughts as brave as they once were
Heading for the moon
[Chorus]
Oh, look how we write over the white
Shadows may chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind, oh
Heading for the moon
[Verse 2]
Don't close your eyes or I might drift away
Under the night of never ending shapes
I'll be wishing off the blue
I still wanna send my stars
Heading for the moon
[Chorus]
And look how we write over the white
Shadows may chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind, oh
Heading for the moon
[Outro]
Ha, ha
Heading for the Moon
So, don't close your eyes
Heading for the Moon
Over the white
Your shadows may chase from behind
You might just put them out of your mind
Heading for the Moon
Don't close your eyes or I might drift away
Under the night, my image bends its shape
I'll be written on the wind
Like in every sailor's dream
Heading for the moon
I reach out, my pulse begins to race
The crashing sounds of fears I've never faced
Let them echo off these waves
With thoughts as brave as they once were
Heading for the moon
[Chorus]
Oh, look how we write over the white
Shadows may chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind, oh
Heading for the moon
[Verse 2]
Don't close your eyes or I might drift away
Under the night of never ending shapes
I'll be wishing off the blue
I still wanna send my stars
Heading for the moon
[Chorus]
And look how we write over the white
Shadows may chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind, oh
Heading for the moon
[Outro]
Ha, ha
Heading for the Moon
So, don't close your eyes
Heading for the Moon
Over the white
Your shadows may chase from behind
You might just put them out of your mind
Heading for the Moon
