[Intro]
So mean
So mean

[Chorus]
Every time the moon shines
I become alive, yeah
And every time the moon shines
I become alive, yeah

[Verse 1]
I'm feeling strange in the night
I'm not myself, I feel I'm thrown into a fight
Ah, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, nothing's right
My skin is burning and my heart begins to speed
There's something going wrong with me
I am changing rapidly, ay
I'm feeling stronger, more alert, I'm on the move, mm
I smell her scent, and I know I will find her soon, soon, soon
The one to come and free me from this fate
I'll find her, it's not too late, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Every time the moon shines
I become alive, yeah
And every time the moon shines
I become alive, yeah
