[Verse 1]
You always were a bit precocious
Riding on my handlebars
As I was pedaling for both of us
You told me you were going far
Oh, I was always gonna be behind you
Cause I love to see you find your way
And I hope I never will remind you to stay
[Chorus]
The moon is gonna keep on shining
Bright enough for everyone
But still you’re gonna keep on flying
Into the sun
[Verse 2]
You always called me “Johnny Cautious”
Told me that I walk too slow
You said instead of asking for directions
Just tell me where you wanna go
Well, I don’t know if I know how to leave here
And I hate to watch you fly away
But I wouldn’t want to keep you either anyway
[Chorus]
The moon is gonna keep on shining
Bright enough for everyone
But still you’re gonna keep on flying into the sun
I don’t know why I keep on trying
To drag you back down to earth
You’re always gonna keep on flying into the sun
Into the jealous sun
[Bridge]
Melting your wings
Watching you plunge
It’s burning you up
That jealous sun
Is gonna be sad
It doesn’t have you
Reflecting upon that sad old
[Chorus]
Moon is gonna keep on shining
Bright enough for everyone
But still, you’re gonna keep on flying into the sun
I don’t know why I keep on trying
To drag you back down to earth
You’re always gonna keep on flying into the sun
Into the jealous sun
(You’re always gonna keep on flying)
Into the jealous sun
