From the recording Within the Shimmering Darkness
The song transports listeners to this moonlit moment when this friendship is questioned and is suddenly catapulted into something more.

Lyrics
It didn’t take much
For the truth to come tumbling out
That night by the great lake
We watched the moon rise
You pressed me with questions,
I wasn’t ready to answer
Now I’m left to stand behind
The words my mouth betrayed
But the moon
There was me, there was you
And the moon
I blame the moon
You asked me,
“Where do you see yourself in six months?
Do you see yourself marrying him?”
“Do I see myself marrying him?”
“No. But marriage has never been very important to me.”
I backpedal so unnaturally,
I don’t wanna answer your questions
Please, please please
But the moon
There was me, there was you
And the moon
I blame the moon
Then I admit it
“Been thinking about you all the time
I couldn’t bring myself to tell you until this moon-drunk night.”
I rendered you speechless
I rendered you speechless
For one of the few times in your life
You didn’t know what to say
But the moon
There was me, there was you
And the moon
I blame the moon
There was me
There was you
There was us
And the moon
