I love how in Nine In The Afternoon it goes, "your eyes are the size of the moon" and then in this song the moon represents a girl "the sun" falls in love with. Clearly the moon = his girlfriend...at least IMO. And from this song, it seems that she saved him. PATD's older songs were definately not this happy sounding before, or love songs for that matter. Obv "the moon" changed his outlook on life maybe, or at least the way Ryan writes songs.
Also, another moon reference is in Northern Downpour..."Hey moon, please forget to fall down. Hey moon, don't you go down." That reminds me of how you don't want the night to end, therefore you don't want the moon to fall down (and the sun to rise). Or if the moon is a metaphor for the girl he loves it could be that he doesn't want her to leave.
