Moonshine Melody

Don’t rush to try to please me
I’ve been dry long enough and I tell you another night won’t kill me
All the little indications couldn’t protect me from the primitive thrill of a slow reveal
When you and I stumble in closer, it only has the reverse effect
Then you get brave and splash waves in my face
While it might get us wet, it’ll only leave us with a kiss that I can’t do nothing with

So go on and sing your moonshine melody somewhere else ‘cuz I won’t be pining by the dawn
This duet could get too good for bootlegged harmonies, so bottle it up until the morn
Bottle it up now

What, have you been saving up your song
For one drunk moment to waste it on?
At any earlier hour, I wouldn’t’ve been sour
Had it been by the terrace, I’d not’ve gone embarrassed
Goddamned poor thing, god damn! What have you been waiting for all of this time?
There was a time that I’d make do with a kiss that I can’t do nothing with

So go on and sing your moonshine melody somewhere else ‘cuz I won’t be pining by the dawn
This duet could get too good for bootlegged harmonies, so
Bottle it up until the morn
Bottle it up now
