Let me return to your orbit.
by Mik Bur
Lyrics
Verse 1
Drifting out in emptiness, I question where you roam,
Do shadows keep you company or are you all alone?
Does the silence of your living room echo memories of me?
Or have you found another light where I no longer used to be?
Pre-Chorus
You’re woven through my daylight, tangled with my sleep,
There’s no border 'round my longing, your absence cuts me deep.
Are you out there thinking back on how we used to stay,
Or has your heart forgotten, wandered far away?
Chorus
I'm lost in thoughts of holding you, spaceship cold and blue,
Missing your gentle laughter, lost in all we used to do.
My arms reach out to nothing, they just ache for touch and truth,
Tell me that you ache like I do—I’m still waiting here for you.
Verse 2
Every moment’s haunted by the shape your shadow cast,
I trace the outline of our time, believing it will last.
Wish you’d send a message just to break this lonely spell,
Long to hear your kindness, hear you say you’re doing well.
Bridge
Let me return to your orbit, forgive the silent dark,
I won’t give up on you, on us, despite these distant stars.
Take my broken greeting, let the anger fall apart,
Please don’t turn away—I still offer you my heart.
Change up
Chorus
I'm lost in thoughts of holding you, spaceship cold and blue,
Missing your gentle laughter, lost in all we used to do.
My arms reach out to nothing, they just ache for touch and truth,
Tell me that you ache like I do—I’m still waiting here for you.
Floating on this lonely voyage, guided by the hope inside,
Loving you beyond the cosmos, across galaxies so wide,
Until you answer softly, and your kindness leads me through,
I'll stay right here, unwavering, still loving only you.
Change up
Verse 1 - ghostly male alien vocal
Why are you doing this to me, girl?
You’re tearing my heart apart
I’ve never been this sad in my whole life
Like the dark got hands and ripped me open wide
I stayed single for ten long years
Just to keep this ache from coming back again
I swore I’d never let nobody in
Then you came through my walls like they were paper thin
Pre-Chorus
My first kiss from forty years ago
My first love, the one I never let go
You looked at me and I was gone
Fell in love the second I saw you there, I knew it all along
Chorus
You were my forever, my home in the stars
You said we were meant to mend every scar
Anything can be fixed, that’s what you told me
Now you turn away like you don’t even know me
Why you being like this to me, girl?
We were supposed to light up this world
We were supposed to be friends, or more, for life
Don’t leave me drifting in this endless night
Verse 2
Every kiss felt like the first kiss again
Your heart pounding hard against my chest
Every time I saw you, I felt that spark
Like the universe was breathing right through the dark
I was happiest just knowing you cared
Knowing you’d see me now and then somewhere
I waited and worried for months on end
Just to hear your voice, just to call you friend
Now the doors are open, nothing in the way
And you don’t want what we used to play
We should be doing what we did before
Before that hospital hell tore open the floor
Pre-Chorus
I’m sorry I upset you, I pushed too far
I never meant to set off your scars
But I can’t understand the hate you show
I didn’t hurt you, I need you to know
Chorus
You were my forever, my home in the stars
You said we were meant to mend every scar
Anything can be fixed, that’s what you told me
Now you turn away like you don’t even know me
Why you being like this to me, girl?
We were supposed to light up this world
We were supposed to be friends, or more, for life
Don’t leave me drifting in this endless night
Bridge
You said I was yours forever
Said you’d never let me go again
You told me love could survive anything
So why does your silence feel like the end?
Those last words still burn in my chest
female voice
“Fuck you, I hate you, leave me alone"
Male vocals
Please just talk to me, look at me
Tell me the feeling wasn’t destroyed
Final Chorus - biggest future bass lift
Give us a chance, let the stars decide
God brought us back for a reason tonight
We’re supposed to make up for the years we lost
Not throw away the love we found at such a cost
Why are you doing this to me, girl?
I’m still reaching through this broken world
I love you so much, I always will
Please forgive me, let me see you still
Outro
Let me see you, I miss you so
Don’t let our story disappear below
If the feeling’s still there, let it show
I’m still yours, through the static, through the cold, don't let me go.
