lyrics

Orbit

What I wouldn't give
to be closer than this
I fall from dreams
to covers that are
drenched in tears and sweat

ten light years or a lifetime
if we could only see
how dark is
the space between us
not so far now as then

We roll 'round the same sun
reflecting the same moon
you're in my orbit
you're circling my head

why I wouldn't choose
to stand there in your shoes
we close our eyes
to complications
both generous and true

At first I didn't see you
and you there all along
I wind my watch
the wrong direction
and pray we'll meet again

We roll 'round the same sun
reflecting the same moon
you're in my orbit
you're circling my head

it's an infinite rotation
whatever time you bend
can we be in the same place
as we are of the same mind
as opposites can mend

there's a curious appeal
the shock of something real
a hazy picture
of promise wasted
we’ve tried so to forget

synchronous engagement
the physics of attraction
something greater
separates us
and pulls us back again

We roll 'round the same sun
reflecting the same moon
you're in my orbit
you're circling my head

How do you take the image of a black hole and make it positive? According to Alpha Cat, "When I wrote the song I'd read how astronomers had determined that you could escape a black hole, but only by going all the way through and out the other side. And that leads to this worm hole theory, where not only do you avoid annihilation, but you arrive at a place you might never have reached otherwise. ... more
