[Verse 1]
He confides in me, he needs to
He doesn't feel the need to lie
And my suspicions always proved me right
Did I deserve it? Tell me, was it worth it?
[Pre-Chorus]
I smelled the cinnamon, how could I depend?
Expect me to defend myself when you ain't there
Now his hands are in my hair, his whispers in my head
That's it, I'm broken
[Chorus]
Our love is tainted by the tides
Both sides, both sides of the moon
And the moon is tainted by the tide, mm
Both sides, both sides, both sides
And the moon is a slave to the tides
Both sides, both sides, both sides
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I wonder how you leave
When I know there's no place to go
And I wonder how you still move me
To a place where I have no control
[Pre-Chorus]
Here we go again, I'm pacing back with him
Going back and forth but this pain is in my chest
I'm braving it again, thinking, "How does this make sense?"
I'm hoping they're just friends
[Chorus]
Our love is tainted by the tides
Both sides, both sides of the moon
And the moon is tainted by the tide
Both sides, both sides, both sides
And the moon is a slave to the tides
Both sides, both sides, both sides
[Outro]
Yeah, I wonder how you leave
When I know there's no place to go
Yeah, I wonder how you still move me, hey
To a place where I have no control
Both sides, both sides
Both sides, both sides
Both Sides of the Moon was written by Gotts Street Park & Celeste.
Both Sides of the Moon was produced by Josh Crocker.
Celeste & Gotts Street Park released Both Sides of the Moon on Fri Sep 28 2018.
The first song I actually wrote (“Both Sides of the Moon”) was in the form of a poem. I did it the night before my first proper writing session in London. I knew I was coming to meet a real writer/producer and I felt I needed to take an idea… It just kept coming and coming and I kept writing it down...
Yes, Celeste has confirmed via her Instagram Story on February 18, 2021 that this is her favorite song from her entire catalogue.
