Orbiting the Echo - Remix

[Intro] Slow crawl Dust in the speakers Red light Blinking in time Breath held Rattle in the kick drum You taste Metal and wine [Verse 1] You tap the steering wheel at zero Dashboard cracked like a dried-up sea Static maps the route to nowhere Still you’re sure it’s where you need to be Billboards peeling into constellations Exit signs drift out of frame Every mile another question Every question almost says my name [Chorus] Orbiting the echo Of the words we never said Looping through the same road With the engine in my head If I ever let go Will I fall or will I float instead? Orbiting the echo Of a life we left for dead [Verse 2] You left a jacket in my closet Smells like rain and summer smoke I wear it when the ceiling’s spinning Feels like armor Feels like joke Your coffee cup grows little cities Brown rings marking failed escape Every plan we sketched in silver Now it’s just a crumpled tape [Chorus] Orbiting the echo Of the words we never said Looping through the same road With the engine in my head If I ever let go Will I fall or will I float instead? Orbiting the echo Of a life we left for dead [Bridge] I counted every crack in the plaster Saw your face in every line I tried to sleep a little faster Skip this stretch of crooked time You’re a flicker in the visor I’m a signal out of range Tell me Are we getting closer Or just better at staying the same? [Chorus] Orbiting the echo Of the words we never said Looping through the same road With the engine in my head If I ever let go Will I fall or will I float instead? Orbiting the echo Orbiting the echo in my head [Outro] Slow crawl Then the floor falls Freefall Through the feedback Your voice On a short call One word And it cuts back
