Tell It to the Moon
Whispers to Celestial Silhouettes
Lyrics
I tell it to the moon
I confide my thoughts or feelings to the moon.
Scream it to the stars in the sky
I express my emotions loudly, even to celestial bodies.
Seeing you always reminds me
Being around you always brings memories to mind.
Got a secret that I keep
I have a hidden truth or emotion.
Got a keep it inside me
I must keep this secret within me.
I watch from a distance
I observe from a distance.
Loving you silently
Loving you without expressing it audibly.
You never hear me
You are unaware of my love.
So I tell it to the moon
I reiterate my feelings to the moon.
Scream it to the stars in the sky
Expressing emotions to celestial entities.
Share it with the wind
Sharing emotions with the wind.
Try to keep it in
Attempting to contain these emotions.
But it's so hard sometimes
Expressing the difficulty of keeping emotions hidden.
So I yell it to the night
Loudly expressing emotions during the night.
I don't know what else I can do
Uncertain about alternative actions.
I can't tell it to you
Unable to confess to you directly.
So I tell it to the moon
Repeating the act of confiding in the moon.
Tell it to the moon
Reiterating the act of telling the moon.
Late at night when no one can hear me
Disclosing feelings when unheard by others.
I reveal the way I feel pretending you're near me
Revealing emotions as if you were close.
You've got somebody
Acknowledging your involvement with someone else.
There's nothing I can do
Feeling powerless, unable to change the situation.
Can't tell you I love you
Unable to verbally express love to you.
So I ...
Action or words left unsaid.
Tell it to the moon
Repetition of confiding in the moon.
Scream it to the stars in the sky
Continuing to express emotions to celestial bodies.
Share it with the wind
Sharing emotions with the wind.
Try to keep it in
Attempting to contain these emotions.
But it's so hard sometimes
Expressing the difficulty of keeping emotions hidden.
So I yell it to the night
Loudly expressing emotions during the night.
I don't know what else I can do
Uncertain about alternative actions.
I can't tell it to you
Unable to confess to you directly.
So I tell it to the moon
Repetition of the act of confiding in the moon.
Tell it to the moon
Reiterating the act of telling the moon.
Some night
A future possibility of direct expression.
I'll come right out and tell you
Anticipating a moment of open confession.
Some night
Envisioning a future verbal declaration of love.
I'll say the words I love you
Anticipating a future expression of "I love you."
Some night
Future intentions contrasted with the current act of confiding in the moon.
But tonight
Emphasizing the act of telling the moon tonight.
I'll tell it to the moon
Reiteration of the current action of confiding in the moon.
