Talking to the Moon
Moonlit Conversations: Longing, Madness, and Hope in Bruno Mars' Melody
Lyrics
I know you're somewhere out there
I believe you are located somewhere distant.
Somewhere far away
It is a faraway place.
I want you back
Expressing a desire for your return.
I want you back
Reiterating the longing for your return.
My neighbors think, I'm crazy
People around me perceive me as irrational.
But they don't understand
They don't comprehend the situation.
You're all I have
You are the only significant thing in my life.
You're all I have
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the relationship.
At night when the stars light up my room
During the night, when the stars illuminate my room.
I sit by myself
I am alone with my thoughts.
Talking to the moon
Engaging in a one-sided conversation with the moon.
Trying to get to you
Attempting to reach out to you.
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Hoping for a response from your end.
Or am I a fool, who sits alone, talking to the moon?
Questioning if my actions are foolish, sitting alone and talking to the moon.
I'm feeling like I'm famous, the talk of the town
Feeling a sense of celebrity status, the subject of gossip.
They say I've gone mad
Others perceive me as mentally unstable.
Yeah, I've gone mad
Confirming the perception of madness.
But they don't know what I know
Highlighting that others lack the knowledge I possess.
'Cause when the sun goes down someone's talking back
When night falls, there is a sense of communication from a distant source.
Yeah, they're talking back, oh
Confirming the existence of this communication.
At night when the stars light up my room
Similar to line 10, emphasizing the night setting.
I sit by myself
Alone with thoughts again.
Talking to the moon
Continuing the one-sided conversation with the moon.
Trying to get to you
Persisting in the attempt to connect with you.
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Repeating the hope for a response from your side.
Or am I a fool, who sits alone, talking to the moon?
Questioning the sanity of sitting alone, talking to the moon.
Do you ever hear me calling?
Pondering if you can hear my calls.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Repeating the call, expressing yearning.
Cause every night, I'm talking to the moon
Nightly ritual of communicating with the moon.
Still trying to get to you
Continuing the persistent effort to reach you.
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Reiterating the hope for a response from your end.
Or am I a fool, who sits alone, talking to the moon?
Repeating the question of whether my actions are foolish.
I know you're somewhere out there
Reiterating the belief in your distant presence.
Somewhere far away
Confirming the distance.
