​​backlit by moonlight. lyrics

[Verse 1]
You ask me to dance, but you're a couple drinks too early
You shoot me a glance, but I can't tell whether you're flirting
I remember what you wore, what you drank and how it tastes
But I can't remember why on Earth I let those chances go to waste

[Chorus]
Listen to the usual music, sittin' with the usual crowd
They're both a little bit too annoying and a little bit too loud
But all of the monotony that keeps me nauseated
Holy sh*t, if I can see your smile one more time then I can take it

[Verse 2]
Backlit by the moonlight
With a golden aura from a distant streetlight
I could starе at you 'til sunrise
Hoping that you'd never look back up and rеalize

[Verse 3]
Just how many times can I pretend that it's not hurting?
The pain I feel is something real, a constant state of yearning
They say that hindsight's 20/20 and that human connection's rudimentary
But my vision's gotten blurry since the 11th Vodka Raspberry

[Chorus]
Listen to the usual bullsh*t, comin' from the usual boys
They're getting on my nerves now as they slowly fade to white noise
And though all this cacophony and screeching makes my ears ring
Holy sh*t, it's worth it if for one moment I can hold this feeling
[Verse 4]
It's sad how nice the past is
Tainted by these vile, rose-tinted glasses
And yet each year that passes
Makes me wonder just what lay within those chances

[Verse 5]
I know it's far too late to live in what-ifs
And that there's no more hidden problems to fix
But I still can't help but think of that time
With a creeping resignation, and sigh

[Outro]
Tell me I was dreaming
And that there never was a sign
Help me stop this screaming
Saying that we could have intertwined
