Grace VanderWaal – ‘Moonlight’ & ‘Everyone Is Lonely’ Live Acoustic Performance | Billboard

Moonlight

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
She always has a smile
From morning to the night
The perfect poster child
That was once in my life

[Pre-Chorus]
A doll made out of glass
All her friends think that she’s great
But I can see through it all
And she’s about to break

[Chorus]
Remember last year when you told me
To always stay here and never leave me
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e were dancing in the moonlight
Remember last year when you told me
That these will be lifelong stories
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, we’re dancing in the moonlight

[Post-Chorus]
You-ou-ou were dancing in the moonlight
And I, I, I was dancing in the moonlight

[Verse 2]
Now she lost her way
And she forgets to smile
Never gets a break
From this life in denial

[Pre-Chorus]
A doll made out of glass
All her friends think that she’s great
But I can see through it all
And she’s about to break, oh!

[Chorus]
Remember last year when you told me
To always stay here and never leave me
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, were dancing in the moonlight
Remember last year when you told me
That these will be lifelong stories
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, were dancing in the moonlight

[Post-Chorus]
You-ou-ou were dancing in the moonlight
And I, I, I was dancing in the moonlight

[Bridge]
I, I, I, miss those me-mo-ries
We used to share
Just you and me

[Chorus]
Remember last year when you told me
To always stay here and never leave me
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, were dancing in the moonlight
Remember last year when you told me
That these will be lifelong stories
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, were dancing in the moonlight

[Outro]
The light from your eyes made it feel like
Dancing In the moonlight

Everyone is Lonely

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Strumming C chord

[Verse 1]
We’re all the same, no matter how we’ve grown
Colors of our skin, defections in our bones
There’s one thing we share, everyone everywhere
We’re all alone
We’re all alone.

[Chorus]
Cause Everyone is fundamentally lonely
Whether you trust science or a church
Because we’re scared
Some of us make pairs
And some are still on the search
And everyone is fundamentally lonely
So here’s some daily advice
You’re in pain
Everyone feels the same
So just be nice.

[Verse 2]
What do ya lose, when life’s already the worst
Leave a bigger tip, let that guy in line first
We’re all lonely, pay for his coffee
Pick up that trash
Even though it’s not your trash.

[Chorus]
But Everyone is fundamentally lonely
Sometimes it comes out as rage
Screaming in a store
They’re lonely at the core
So be calm when you engage
Everyone is fundamentally lonely
I’m not saying sacrifice
Lend some support
At the airport
It won’t kill you to be nice.

[Bridge]
Everything is stupid
Success is a projection (Grace sings; Success is our rejection)
We’re all quietly helpless
Being nice is a connection
Blaring your car horn
Won’t make you feel tremendous
But picking up something someone dropped
Will make this whole thing less horrendous

[Chorus]
Everyone is fundamentally lonely
Even ones pretending that they’re not
Be nice today.
It’ll make things just slightly OK
On this lonely, little blue dot
