Stealing the Moon

Lyrics by Brandon Huddleson

Written to be played with an acoustic or classical guitar.

Do you remember when

We were young and dumb

And we thought that

We could steal the sun

Play with fire son

You’re about to get burned

Perhaps I got what

I truly deserved

But I’ll never forget those nights

When you smiled at me so bright

So tonight

I’m drinking some

Brandy

Haven’t heard from you

Lately

I hope you got that job in Chicago

I’m moving to Italy

Just to let you know

You never returned my letters

I hope that you’re doing better

Laying in your bed

You said

That this could be

A happy ending

But that was too soon

You went to steal the moon

And all you ever did was cry

I guess I’ll be lonely tonight
