I failed to notice
Till you took my breath away from me
We were standing on a balcony
Last Friday night
Your little finger touched my wrist
And it was bliss
And it’s absurd I think I heard a song
I failed to comprehend
When I felt your love
I can’t remember when
We were swinging from an air balloon all summertime
An E. E. Cummings poem like this
I can’t resist a moon of words I think I heard a song
How am I supposed to trust myself?
Dreaming ’bout you all night
Thinking we were best friends
Love I can be so blind for you for you for you
Just a little walk on the moon the moon the moon
Really got me in a mood
As for me I was one that never thought of two
Like a fish could wish to fly but has no right to do
Still I wanted you to take me to another height
I wasn’t ready for your kiss we always missed
And it’s absurd I think I heard a song
Why am I whispering?
There’s an angel in my bed and heaven’s listening
Now the bedroom is a castle we have fortified
All of the secrets from our lips
Begin to slip
In every word I think I heard a song
How am I supposed to trust myself?
Known you such a long time
Thinking we were just friends
Love I can be so blind for you for you for you
Just a little walk on the moon the moon the moon
Really got me in a mood
All the secrets from our lips
In my dreams I don’t wanna stop
Think I heard a song
Fans have praised the track for its lyrical depth and ethereal production, noting that Jepsen’s vocal delivery feels both vulnerable and confident. “Just a Little Walk on the Moon” has quickly become a favorite for listeners who enjoy her signature blend of pop sparkle and heartfelt storytelling.
