Blood Moon

There was a blood moon out tonight
But it was too cloudy to see
I wanna see the world through your eyes
I guess I gotta believe
We let a good thing die
Well that's the part that you see
Just like I saw the moonlight
Crimson pouring all through the city streets

We missed an opportunity
But in another life I'd be
The one who saw it through
Instead of leaving you behind
I'd be the one
Yeah, I'd be the one

I really hate it when we fight
We're saying things we can't take back
I hate to see you in that light
And I hate to be on the attack

There ain't a way to make things right
Maybe it's best not to try
But I wanna see your face tonight
I wish I understood why

We missed an opportunity
But in another life I'd be
The one who saw it through
Instead of leaving you behind
Oh yeah
Yeah, I'd be the one

As dark as night can get, it's also full of splendor
We had a moment there if only we could just remember
Riding our bikes on the Hudson, gripping tight to the handles
Beside your bed I would light a lavender scented candle

Isn't it pretty to think of what we could've been?
I said it's better to think of what we still could be
I said my heart isn't in it, but now I understand
You said it isn't true and told me how you'd fight for me

And now the look in your eye is etched in my brain forever
I held it in my heart long after we had been together
I think the truth is at your core you never know a person
But in that moment nobody could understand me better

There was a blood moon out tonight
But it was too cloudy to see
