[Verse 1]
When the moonlight
Feels like limelight
Your heart flutters for a second
Before it stuttered[?]
To let the whole words trail off
Before you know you lost your soul
You sold your soul for love and some other d**
[Pre-Chorus]
You think it's vapid
But I'll tell you it's pleasing
have the courage
To keep it from teasing
[Chorus]
The feeling that lingers
Between every snap of the fingers
And every warm parted breathe
Between every moan and fevered touch
And favored glances that say so much more
Than "I love you",
"I need you to be the one in my dream,
the crop and the cream,
the soft tambourine ringing into my ears
quelling my fears one at a time".
[Bridge]
Falling in place was never my design
Your intent was never to stay
Somehow this character of our charade
Played out and rightly died
For love
[Verse 2]
When the moonlight feels like limelight
Your heart flutters for a second
Before it stuttered to let the whole words trail off
Before you know you lost your self
You sold your soul for love and some other d**
[Chorus]
You think it's vapid
But I tell it's pleasing
Have the courage to keep it from teasing
The feeling that lingers
Between every snap of the fingers,
And warm parted breathe
Between every moan and fevered touch
And favored glances that say so much more
Than "I love you",
"I need you to be the one in my dream,
the crop and the cream,
the soft tambourine ringing into my ears,
quelling my fears one at a time".
