Orbit
Lyrics
You used to orbit close, little moon
Every circle crossed my sky
Now your loops are getting wider
And I clock them going by
There's a car door in the driveway
There's a playlist I don't know
There's a whole world in your pocket
And it's pulling, and it's yours
And you go
And every launch takes fuel
And the fuel was always me
That's not a debt, little moon
That's what the gravity's for
Orbit
Go wide
Orbit
I'm your sky
Far is fine
You're still mine
Circle
Circle
You always cross my night
I used to grip like planets don't
Held the string, called it love
Till I felt you straining sunward
And the string became a glove
So I opened up the holding
Learned the harder kind of keep
The pull that doesn't pull you back
Just promises the deep
Has somewhere warm to sleep
'Cause gravity's not grabbing
It's the quiet steady yes
That lets a small moon wander far
And never second-guess
The way back
Orbit
Go wide
Orbit
I'm your sky
Far is fine
You're still mine
Circle
Circle
You always cross my night
There you go
Look at you go
Orbit
Gone wide
Orbit
Still your sky
Far is fine
Love's designed
To circle
Circle
Some night you'll cross my night
And land a while
The light's on in the driveway
It's not to call you home, it's so you know it
