Orbit

Orbit Verse 1 I met you where the winter settles, Snow hanging heavy on the pines. The whole world frozen into silence, Yet somehow you outran the ice. You laugh too loud for a room this small, Like you’ve never learned to whisper at all. You wear your colours where the cold turns white, Like even winter couldn’t steal your light. You speak to strangers like they’re old friends, Words fall easy, mine come undone. There’s poetry tucked beneath your tongue, An older soul inside someone so young. Pre-Chorus And it’s harmless… That’s what I tell myself. Just another face, Just another story to shelve. So why does my heart Keep forgetting the rules? Chorus I’m caught in your orbit, Close enough to feel the heat. You don’t even know it, But you’re pulling every part of me. Nothing happened. Nothing crossed that line. Still you linger at the back of my mind. You’re the fire I’ll never touch… So I keep living off the gravity of us. Verse 2 Your hand found mine a second too long, Half a joke, but it felt like a song. I could’ve let go… I think I could’ve tried. Instead I watched the universe collide. You look at me like you actually see me, Like I’m more than the walls I’ve built. God, I hate the way you make me wonder If longing always tastes like guilt. I catch myself searching every room, Just to hear your voice cut through the noise. Like some reckless part of me Already made a secret choice. Pre-Chorus There’s a porch light waiting when I leave, A heart that still believes in me. So why do your eyes feel like a home I’ve never known before? Chorus I’m caught in your orbit, Close enough to feel the heat. You don’t even know it, But you’re pulling every part of me. Nothing happened. Nothing crossed that line. Still you linger at the back of my mind. You’re the fire I’ll never touch… So I keep living off the gravity of us. Bridge You’ll never know this quiet war. You’ll never wear the blame. It’s me fighting every wild thought That dares to speak your name. Maybe you were only passing through, A bright comet across a winter sky. But God, you woke something sleeping in me, And I don’t know why. So I’ll leave these words inside a song, Where they can ache but do no harm. Some loves are only meant to live As ghosts inside the heart. Final Chorus I’m caught in your orbit, Close enough to feel the heat. You don’t even know it, But you’re pulling every part of me. Nothing happened. Nothing crossed that line. Still you linger at the back of my mind. You’re the fire I’ll never touch… Even if I ache to every time. So I’ll walk back through the falling snow, To the life that’s waiting there at home. And you’ll remain the almost I’ll never let become. Outro Some stars are only beautiful Because they’re far away. Some hearts stay faithful By choosing not to stray. So I’ll keep you where the winter found you— Forever just beyond my reach.
