Moonshine Lyrics
Hello
You know you look even better than the way you did the night before
And the moment that you kissed my lips you know I start to feel wonderful
It's something incredible, there's sex in your chemicals
Oh, let's go
You're the best way I know to escape the extraordinary
This world ain't for you, and I know for damn sure this world ain't for me
Lift off and say goodbye
Just let your fire set me free
Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
I know, I was with you last night but it feels like it's been so long
And everybody that's around me knows that I'm not myself when you gone
It's good to see you again, good to see you again
On top of the world, is where I stand when you're back in my life
Life's not so bad when you're way up this high
Everything is alright, everything is alright
Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, oh
Moonshine, your love, it makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
Don't look down, don't you never look back
We are not afraid to die young and live fast
Give me good times, give me love, give me laughs
Let's take a ride to the sky before the night is gone
Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, oh
Moonshine, your love it makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
You know you look even better than the way you did the night before
And the moment that you kissed my lips you know I start to feel wonderful
It's something incredible, there's sex in your chemicals
Oh, let's go
You're the best way I know to escape the extraordinary
This world ain't for you, and I know for damn sure this world ain't for me
Lift off and say goodbye
Just let your fire set me free
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
And everybody that's around me knows that I'm not myself when you gone
It's good to see you again, good to see you again
On top of the world, is where I stand when you're back in my life
Life's not so bad when you're way up this high
Everything is alright, everything is alright
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, oh
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
We are not afraid to die young and live fast
Give me good times, give me love, give me laughs
Let's take a ride to the sky before the night is gone
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, oh
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time

Again - I'm surprised there are no comments on this one either...this is another awesome song. I love the way Bruno explores different chord combinations on this album and it differs so much from Doo Waps & Hooligans....much darker....much better in my opinion, not so melancholy, more aggressive... This song is self explanatory too. It is that person that you are not dating, but you meet up with, a favorite one night stand maybe....where you have the electricity in the physical relationship...this person who is your personal drug. Its a good song - definitely another album favorite.
Very well said, I agree completely

This song is simply AMAZING!!! Am I the only one who thinks this song is maybe about addiction? As Moonshine is a very powerful type of drink. Mars uses words like "chemicals" and "fire" which could be associated to alcohol. To me it's about finding something that will take you away from the world ("take us to the stars tonight"). And the singer can't stop ("I know I was with you last night but it seems like it's been so long"). And it also defines him ("Everybody knows I'm not myself when you're gone"). I get that vibe from the song because even though the lyrics seem joyful, it's sung with sorrow. Maybe I'm over-analyzing this song but that's how I interpret it.
I actually just created an account to say this seems to be 100% accurate to me. As a person with bipolar in one vein and alcoholism in the other I agree that when "the moment that you kiss my lips I start to feel wonderful...it's something incredible". From my alcoholic perspective, the thrill of drinking is cracking a bottle or putting it to your lips, not actually drinking or getting drunk ("take me to the stars") even though the escape from reality can be thrilling at times.

When you mention joyful and sorrow in the same...
When you mention joyful and sorrow in the same sentence, it's exactly like the love and hate relationship of alcoholism. I love alcohol, but love to hate it, and hate to love it. It seems to me the song was written as a broken love story in that Bruno had to let go of that love/hate relationship to move on and give himself a better and healthier life, but he will always remember the good times. Just like any broken relationship, whether it's a girl/guy/bottle.
Oh god this song... what in the world...so...fucking amazing
This is by far my favorite song by Bruno Mars, I was hoping to find some more information of what this song means. To me it seems like an addiction.No surprise I am addicted to this song! I just love everything about this song.
