[Verse 1: Dan Andriano]

I know it's dark here, you know that I'm scared too

For some reason right now of everything but you

Right now you're all that I recognize

You know I came here when I needed your soft voice

I needed to hear something that sounded like an answer

And I wait here, and sometimes I get one


[Chorus]

It's nothing I'll forget when the moon gets tired

You are stuck to me everyday

Believe in what I am because it's all I have today

And tomorrow who knows where we'll be

From here I can hardly see a thing

But I will follow anyone who brings me to you

For now, forever, for on and on and on


[Verse 2]

You know it starts here, outside waiting in the cold

Kiss me once in the snow, I swear it never gets old

And I will promise you I can make it warmer next year

You know I came here when I needed your soft voice

I needed to hear something that sounded like an answer

Now I stay here, and every day I get one


[Chorus]

It's nothing I'll forget when the moon gets tired

You are stuck to me everyday

Believe in what I am because it's all I have today

And tomorrow who knows where we'll be

From here I can hardly see a thing

But I will follow anyone who brings me to you

For now, forever, for on and on and on


[Post-Chorus]

So go plug in your electric blanket

We can stay in 'till our southern summer wedding day

Go plug in your electric blanket

We can stay here
