While you were out of the room she read all the posters on your bedroom wall
You're making coffee for two while she's wrapped in your sheets memorising them all
She knows she might never come back here,
No big deal, she just wants to recall
While you were walking the streets she began to rethink her view of this whole town
As good a guide she could get are you and it's not half bad when you lead her around
Although she knows she'll never wanna visit with anyone else, it's nice for now

(Pre-chorus)
And the memories will be washed in orange by the salt lamp on the floor
She's here as long as the moon shines in the sky,
kinda hope it shines forevermore

(Chorus)
You must understand what she gave you was more than she'd planned
And she hopes that you knew so she doesn't feel nearly as bad
And you know where she is if you need her but that's easier said than it's done
She loves to be with you, but just not enough to, enough to be seen in the sun

While you were under the lights she was setting her sights on a way out of your arms (your arms)
Wait til the timing is right, girl it's gonna be tight, and don't raise the alarm
Cause she wants the fun while it's still fun, and not a moment more
It's bad for her heart lol
While you were sharing the bed she was miles away in a place you've never been (never have and never will)
Her mind is vast and alive and she can't spare the time to let another in (no she can't, but can't or won't?)
Just kiss her hard and don't ask questions you don't want the answer to
She's happy if you're happy so be happy that she's here with you

(Pre-chorus)
And the memories will be few and hazy
Turn the deadbolt, lock the door
She's here as long as the moon shines in the sky,
Kinda hope it shines forevermore

(Chorus)
