Man On The Moon

Love Note

Misfit Hearts

Man on the Moon
Written by Matthew Peele

We rode out past the county line
You reached for her, but your eyes met mine
No one spoke, and no one had to
I knew the cost before I asked you

Man on the moon
You’re lighting me up, got nothing to prove
Midnight in June
Spinning around, got me lost in you
Showed me a whole new view

You smiled like no one had to know
Like love could bloom and never show
She caught my eye, then looked straight through
And I pretended I hadn’t moved

Man on the moon
You’re lighting me up, got nothing to prove
Midnight in June
Spinning around, got me lost in you
Showed me a whole new view

How did it get this way?
You lit me up, but didn’t stay
Lost in smoke, I’m drifting gray
Holding breath for yesterday
Thought you’d shine, but skies turned gray
Sparked me once, then walked away

Man on the moon
You’re lighting me up, got nothing to prove
Midnight in June (Midnight in June)
Spinning around, got me lost in you
Showed me a whole new view

We’ve moved on to different skies
Beyond your eyes,
Man on the moon

Man on the moon
You’re lighting me up, got nothing to prove
Midnight in June (Midnight in June)
Spinning around, got me lost in you
Showed me a whole new view
We’ve moved on to different skies
Beyond your eyes,
Man on the moon

I've Bloomed Since You 
Lyrics by Matthew Peele

You hit your peak at eighteen
Growth just quit while I stayed green
You stayed stuck in what was cool
I turned my pain into my fuel

And baby, life is what you make it
And baby, sittin' around complaining
Ain’t the life for me

I’ve bloomed, bloomed—
Too far from you
Bloomed, bloomed
Too far from you

I’ve bloomed, bloomed—
Too far from you
Bloomed, bloomed
Too far from you

Dear God, we get it
Your world’s on fire, we’ve all read it
Same story, same excuse
Every drama comes back to you
But what if all signs point to you?
Then what would ya do?

And baby, life is what you make it
And baby, sittin' around complaining
Ain’t the life for me

I’ve bloomed, bloomed—
Too far from you
Bloomed, bloomed
Too far from you

And when your stories fall on air
When no one’s left to sit and care
It’s far too late to reach for me—
But maybe then, you’ll finally see

I’ve bloomed, bloomed
Too far from you
Bloomed, bloomed
Too far from you

I’ve bloomed, bloomed—
Too far from you
Bloomed, bloomed
Too far from you

Baby, I’ve bloomed
Too far from you
Baby, I’ve bloomed
Too far from you
Too far from you...

I’ve Bloomed Since You

Play House
(Written by Matthew Peele)

Let’s not play house

I’ve played that game a million times
Hung my dreams on painted walls
Built a life just to watch it fall

I want the mess, I want the truth
Not the script they handed you

Don’t light the candles just to blow ‘em out
Don’t say forever if we’re full of doubt
I’ve kissed the air and called it love
Built a house just to burn it up
So fuck that script, let’s tear the lines
Don’t play house with me this time

I’ve set the table, poured the wine
Waited on love that never felt like mine
Played house in shoes that didn’t fit
And stayed too long in all of it

I’ve lived in rooms where love was thin
Taped up cracks and called it “within”
I’ve smiled through fights and dimmed my light
But I won’t do that shit tonight

Don’t light the candles just to blow ‘em out
Don’t say forever if we’re full of doubt
I’ve kissed the air and called it love
Built a house just to burn it up
So fuck that script, let’s tear the lines
Don’t play house with me this time

Oh Don’t light the candles just to blow ‘em out
Don’t say forever if we’re full of doubt
I’ve kissed the air and called it love
Built a house just to burn it up
So fuck that script, let’s tear the lines
Don’t play house with me this time

Let’s not play house
Let’s not play house
Don’t say forever
If we are full of doubt
I’ve kissed the air
Called it love
Built a house just to burn it up

So fuck that script, let’s tear the lines
Don’t play house with me this time

Oh, don’t light the candles just to blow ‘em out
Don’t say forever if we’re full of doubt
I’ve kissed the air and called it love
Built a house just to burn it up

Don’t light the candles just to blow ‘em out
Don’t say forever if we’re full of doubt
I’ve kissed the air and called it love
Built a house just to burn it up

Don’t light the candles just to blow ‘em out
Don’t say forever if we’re full of doubt
I’ve kissed the air and called it love
Built a house just to burn it up
Let’s not play house

Play House
