Blue Moon Lyrics – Niki

[Chorus]
The chorus reflects on the time they spent together ("four full laps around the sun") and their reluctance to admit the relationship was over. The contrasting astrological signs ("January baby" and "born in June") emphasize their inherent differences. The questions about fate ("hidden in the cards" and "written in the stars") suggest a sense of inevitability and bad timing.

[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus reiterates the theme of bad timing with the phrase "just a little too soon" and the imagery of "our own blue moon," signifying a rare but ill-timed connection.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Niki addresses the painful realization that her partner valued their moral goodness over being good to her. The subtle difference between these concepts could have saved their relationship. She contrasts her willingness to get "hands dirty" with their tendency to avoid taking responsibility for their shared problems.

[Bridge]
The bridge acknowledges the rarity of meeting someone special ("once in the bluest moon") and holds a faint hope for reconciliation in the future, perhaps when they've matured and can look back on their relationship with different perspectives.

[Outro]
The outro concludes with the sorrowful acceptance that it "would've been you" if only the timing had been right.
