When the moon hits the land

Because goodbye means forever
And forever feels too long
So don’t let the last thing spoken
Sound like I am gone
Just say you’ll see me
When the moon hits the land
When the night spills silver
Across your open hands

When the quiet feels endless
And the world moves on too fast
Know I’m somewhere in the stillness
Where nothing truly passed

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I know it may be years
Before our hands align
But love like this
Doesn’t live inside of time

⸻

Chorus

So don’t say goodbye
Because goodbye means forever
Just say I’ll see you
When the moon hits the land
When the sun sets in the east
And the sky forgets its blue
I’ll be waiting on the other side
Of paradise for you

I may be out of sight
But I’m not gone

⸻

Verse 2

How do you breathe in rooms
That don’t remember you?
How does the morning rise
Without the warmth you grew?
I hate to leave this story
Before the final page
But some things slip like water
We were never meant to change

If staying was a promise
I would have held the line
I would have fought the daylight
For one more borrowed time

⸻

Pre-Chorus

And when the nights grow heavy
And you can’t find your way
Close your eyes
I’m closer than you think

⸻

Bridge

At the edge of every evening
When the air turns cold and still
You’ll hear me in the silence
Like a name the wind won’t spill
Not heaven, not forever
Just love that lingers on
Like footprints in the shoreline
After everyone is gone

⸻

Final Chorus (Soft Build)

So don’t say goodbye
Because goodbye means forever
Just say I’ll see you
When the moon hits the land
When the sun sets in the east
And the stars fall into place
I’ll be the light you don’t see
Till we meet at the bridge someday

I may be out of sight
But I’m not gone

(soft repeat)
I’m not gone…
