Moonshine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wish I could say whatever-ever
I wish I could change the weather, weather
Gotta keep my brain together-gether
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know it's gonna be a while
'Til I’ll be somewhere over the rainbow
'Til I can be the person that I know
Hate to say it, but I need to soften the glow (Soften up the glow)
[Chorus]
Keep me in the dark, cover up my heart
Only loving in the shadows
Secret on my lips, watching my eclipse
Following the straight and narrow
Shut up and just get drunk on your strawbеrry wine
Promise we'll stand in thе sun in due time
But for now, we'll just lay right here in the moonshine
[Post-Chorus]
(Can we just lay here)
Lay here in the moonshine, ooh
Lay here in the moonshine, ooh
Lay here in the moonshine, ooh
In the moonshine (Moonshine, moonshine)
[Verse 2]
Used to be light as a feather, feather
In my younger years, my never, never
Now I’m under all the pressure, pressure
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's gonna be a while
'Til I’ll be somewhere over the rainbow
'Til I can be the person that I know
Hate to say it, but I need to soften the glow (Soften up the glow)
[Chorus]
Keep me in the dark, cover up my heart
Only loving in the shadows
Secret on my lips, watching my eclipse
Following the straight and narrow
Shut up and just get drunk on your strawberry wine
Promise we'll stand in the sun in due time
But for now, we'll just lay right here in the moonshine
[Post-Chorus]
(All I want to do is)
Lay here in the moonshine, ooh
Lay here in the moonshine, ooh
Lay here in the moonshine, ooh
In the moonshine (In the moonshine)
Lay here in the moonshine, ooh
Lay here in the moonshine, ooh
Lay here in the moonshine, ooh
In the moonshine (In the moonshine)
