Moon & Back Lyrics
How do you not know that you're my light
The star that guides me home in the dead of night
You forget it don't you
Haven't I told you
To the moon and back
To the moon and back
Hurting, burning, yearning
To the moon and back
Wish you would just see that you are fire
Your spark ignites every desire
I wish you'd let me hold you
The way I'm supposed to
To the moon and back
To the moon and back
Hurting, burning, yearning
To the moon and back
My soul is hurting, hurting
It's burning, burning
I'm yearning, yearning
To the moon and back
My soul is hurting, hurting
It's burning, burning
I'm yearning, yearning
To the moon and back
Hurting
(My soul is hurting, hurting)
Burning
(It's burning, burning)
Yearning
(I'm yearning, yearning)
To the moon and back
Hurting
(My soul is hurting, hurting)
Burning
(It's burning, burning)
Yearning
(I'm yearning, yearning)
To the moon and back
The star that guides me home in the dead of night
You forget it don't you
Haven't I told you
To the moon and back
To the moon and back
To the moon and back
Your spark ignites every desire
I wish you'd let me hold you
The way I'm supposed to
To the moon and back
To the moon and back
To the moon and back
It's burning, burning
I'm yearning, yearning
To the moon and back
My soul is hurting, hurting
It's burning, burning
I'm yearning, yearning
To the moon and back
(My soul is hurting, hurting)
Burning
(It's burning, burning)
Yearning
(I'm yearning, yearning)
To the moon and back
Hurting
(My soul is hurting, hurting)
Burning
(It's burning, burning)
Yearning
(I'm yearning, yearning)
To the moon and back

“How do you not know that you're my light The star that guides me home in the dead of night”
This part is figurative, not literally referring to a star or moon. Maybe something provides a light to guide the singer without realizing that it is doing so. Or, just as the moon reflects indirect light from the sun, perhaps something is helping the singer in more subtle ways.
“You forget it don't you Haven't I told you”
I think this part means that the singer has tried to express gratitude for the guidance received. Maybe the singer doesn't know how to show gratitude in a way that makes sense. Maybe the guide does not get the hint, or doesn’t think it is a big deal. Maybe the guide does not deem itself worthy of thanks?
“Wish you would just see that you are fire Your spark ignites every desire”
I think this part means that the guide is a “flame of inspiration” and generates passion for pursuing things in life.
“I wish you'd let me hold you The way I'm supposed to”
Again, the guide is resisting the idea of gratitude being shown.
“To the moon and back”
This may refer to the lengths the singer is willing to go to in order to show gratitude for the guidance and inspiration. It may also mean that with the guidance and inspiration, the singer will go far in life - as far as the moon and back?
