Embed: She sees everything
She knows me too well

She looks like the day
She says, "it's the light"
Something in the way, she says, "goodbye"

And she looks like the moon
So close and yet, so far
She says everything
She knows me too well

And I can call you, "friend"
And I can be the world
Silent chatter held
I won't be around

And I can be a friend
But I won't be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don't push me out

She looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She says everything
She knows me too well

And I can call you, "friend"
But I won't be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don't push me out...

We don't have to speak tonight
Just don't say, "goodbye"

Making a home in my body
Letting it grow in my body
Taking these chains from my body
Letting it go from my body
Letting it go from me body
Taking these chains from my body
Is harder than you know

She looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She says everything
She knows me too well

And she looks like the day
She says, "it's the light"
Something in the way, she says, "goodbye"

Just don't say goodbye
I can be the world, tonight...Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Like the Moon Lyrics

She looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She sees everything
She knows me too well

She looks like the day
She says, "it's the light"
Something in the way, she says, "goodbye"

And she looks like the moon
So close and yet, so far
She says everything
She knows me too well

And I can call you, "friend"
And I can be the world
Silent chatter held
I won't be around

And I can be a friend
But I won't be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don't push me out

She looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She says everything
She knows me too well

And I can call you, "friend"
But I won't be around
Silent chatter, bound
Just don't push me out...

We don't have to speak tonight
Just don't say, "goodbye"

Making a home in my body
Letting it grow in my body
Taking these chains from my body
Letting it go from my body
Letting it go from me body
Taking these chains from my body
Is harder than you know

She looks like the moon
She says, "it's your eyes"
She says everything
She knows me too well

And she looks like the day
She says, "it's the light"
Something in the way, she says, "goodbye"

Just don't say goodbye
I can be the world, tonight...

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
Future Islands is a new wave synthpop band based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The band is composed of Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), and Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals). Their sound has been described as "terse yet passionate music wrought from a stripped back palette," where "Gerrit Welmers' synthesizer melodies tumble across the austere wilderness of William Cashion's post-punk bass pulse, driven ever forward by ecstatic electronic rhythms".

Future Islands is often associated with other bands affiliated with Wham City, such as Videohippos, Santa Dads, Blood Baby, OCDJ, Adventure, Dan Deacon, Weekends, Double Dagger, and many others.

The band met and formed in Greenville, North Carolina, USA while studying art at East Carolina University. Their first band was Art Lord & The Self-Portraits, which was also composed of Adam Beeby and Kymia Nawabi and lasted from 2003 to 2005. In 2006, Cashion, Herring, and Welmers formed Future Islands, along with Erick Murillo, the bassist for The Kickass.

Future Islands released Little Advances in April 2006, and a self-released split CD with Welmers' solo project Moss of Aura in January 2007. In July 2007, they recorded their debut album, Wave Like Home, with Chester Endersby Gwazda at Backdoor Skateshop in Greenville, North Carolina. After a Halloween party in 2007, Murillo quit the band. In late 2007 and early 2008, the band relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The "Feathers and Hallways" 7" was recorded in Oakland, California during their first US tour and was their first release as a focused three-piece. Upset! the Rhythm released Wave Like Home on 25 August 2008. The cover art was designed by Kymia Nawabi, a former member of Art Lord & The Self-Portraits.

In 2009 the band signed to independent Chicago record company Thrill Jockey.

Their second album, In Evening Air, was recorded in the band's living room in the historic Marble Hill neighborhood in Baltimore and released on 4 May 2010.

Their third full-length album, On the Water, was recorded in Elizabeth City, NC's historic, waterfront Andrew S. Sanders House. It was released on 11 October 2011. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
