Ghost In Your Orbit

Lyrics

Verse 1
You pull me in
Then disappear
Answer my jokes
Skip what you fear
You say I’m safe
You say I’m “home”
Then change the locks
Leave me alone

Pre-Chorus
You’re up, you’re down
You’re fire, you’re froze
You’re almost mine
Then the door just—closed

Chorus
So I’ll be a ghost in your orbit
Burning up just outside your sun
Call it friendship, call it torment
I stay close while you choose to run
You’re scared of the fall, I know it
So I stand where the edges cut
This is my tender, toxic promise
I’ll love you, and I’ll eat the hurt (yeah)

Verse 2
You find “new friends”
Like changing shirts
Then circle back
When something hurts
You say you’re bad
At letting in
So I’m the wound
You call a “win”

Pre-Chorus
You’re hot, you’re cold
You’re “maybe some day”
You’re every yes
That dies in “go away”

Chorus
So I’ll be a ghost in your orbit
Burning up just outside your sun
Call it friendship, call it torment
I stay close while you choose to run
You’re scared of the fall, I know it
So I stand where the edges cut
This is my tender, toxic promise
I’ll love you, and I’ll eat the hurt

Bridge
You shut me out
Blue screen sky
Typing and deleting
Every “why”
You pick someone new
Like you always do
Still I keep a place
Inside me for you (for you)

Chorus
So I’ll be a ghost in your orbit
Burning up just outside your sun
Call it friendship, call it torment
I stay close while you choose to run
You’re scared of the fall, I know it
So I stand where the edges cut
This is my quiet, cruel religion
I love you
And I live
With the hurt
