There's something about you in the moonlight

But your power can strip me away

It's easier for us to hide

If you come out, then so will I

Promise that I'll meet you halfway
Em
'Cause I see every part of you

And I can tell you see me, too
G B7
By the way that you say my name
[Chorus]

I am an honest man

Why can't you take my hand?

I'm not what you planned but, I'm a safe place to land

I am an honest man
