[Verse 1]
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back, I want you back
My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I had, you're all I had
[Pre-Chorus]
At night when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
[Chorus]
Talking to the moon
Tryna get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me, too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Oh
[Verse 2]
I'm feeling like I'm famous, the talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad
But they don't know what I know
'Cause when the sun goes down
Someone's talkin' back
Yeah, they're talkin' back, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
At night when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
[Chorus]
Talking to the moon
Tryna get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me, too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Do you ever hear me calling?
Oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh), oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh), oh-oh
[Chorus]
'Cause every night, I'm talking to the moon
Still tryna get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me, too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Oh
[Outro]
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away

The Smeezingtons member Ari Levine:
“Talking To The Moon” is one of my favourite songs on the album. We only had the first verse and the horns, but we knew that it was great. We then had three different bridges and we spent a lot of time trying to find out which one was the best. Jeff Bhasker is a...
