Didn't know how I craved you, now I know
Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home
Didn't know how I craved you, now I know
Infinite stars in the sky

I want you to see me
I need you to need me
Without you I'm nothing at all
Your gravity's pulling, it renders me useless
My darlin'

Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home
Didn't know how I craved you, now I know
Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home
Didn't know how I craved you, now I know
Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home
Didn't know how I craved you now I know
Yeah I envy the moon cause he follows you home
Didn't know how I craved you, now I know
