The Same Moon
Awaiting Love's Global Reunion
Lyrics
Soon, the city will awaken,
Anticipation of the city awakening soon.
And I haven't slept at all
Expressing sleeplessness, possibly due to longing or anticipation.
Just another silent night
Describing a quiet night, setting the scene for introspection.
Waiting for your call
Waiting for a call, implying a connection with someone.
A few hours ago, you were here with me
Recalling a recent time spent together with a person.
Now, the love we made is just a memory
Reflecting on the memory of love now turned into the past.
You're home in a city where I've never been
Noting the person's home in a distant city.
When will I see you again?
Expressing a desire to reunite and questioning when it will happen.
But the same moon shines upon you
Highlighting a shared experience of looking at the moon despite distance.
Though you're half a world away
Acknowledging physical separation, but emphasizing a shared celestial view.
And the same stars gleam above you
Extending the shared experience to the stars, introducing the idea of making a wish.
Make a wish...what will you say?
Prompting the listener to consider what wish the distant person might make.
The same earth turns beneath you
Emphasizing a shared connection through the turning of the Earth.
And the same sun lights your way
Noting the commonality of the sun's light on both individuals.
And the same dream lives inside us
Asserting a shared dream that unites the separated individuals.
We'll be together someday
Expressing optimism about being together in the future.
Now, my body feels so empty
Conveying a sense of emptiness in the absence of the person.
Since you carried off my heart
Metaphorically describing the person taking the speaker's heart.
Oh, how can we go on
Pondering the challenges of continuing a relationship at a distance.
Living far apart?
Expressing the difficulty of living apart.
Rain keeps falling on the streets below
Describing rain falling, symbolizing sadness or tears.
There's nothing lonelier than when you go
Expressing the loneliness felt when the person is not present.
I'm alone with my thoughts and wondering when,
Being alone with thoughts, questioning when the night will end.
When will this night ever end?
Expressing a sense of time dragging on during separation.
But the same moon shines upon you
Reiterating the shared experience of looking at the moon despite distance.
Though you're half a world away
Emphasizing the persistence of the moon's presence despite distance.
And the same stars gleam above you
Repeating the shared experience with stars and the act of making a wish.
Make a wish...what will you say?
Prompting the listener to consider what wish the distant person might make.
The same earth turns beneath you
Reiterating the shared connection through the turning of the Earth.
And the same sun lights your way
Emphasizing the commonality of the sun's light on both individuals.
And the same dream lives inside us
Restating the shared dream that unites the separated individuals.
We'll be together
Expressing a collective aspiration to be together.
We'll be together
Repeating the hopeful sentiment of being together in the future.
We'll be together someday
Reaffirming the belief that they will be together someday.
