[Verse 1] I’ve got a burn in my borrowed orbit A bright hard want with a dangerous pull If I keep falling, I’ll tear through the living If I turn away, will I come back at all? [Pre-Chorus] Every mile says go Every voice says stay I can feel the whole world In the choice I make [Chorus] I’m a comet at the edge of the blue Bearing down on the life that I knew I could strike, I could scatter it wide Or bend my fire and pass on by I don’t have to vanish to change my course I can keep the heat without the wreckage I’m still moving, still carrying force I can miss the earth and keep my name [Verse 2] There’s no clean road through the things I’m wanting No easy win that leaves nothing bruised But I can take the turn by inches Keep what I love and still choose what’s true [Half-Time Bridge] Not every orbit is surrender Not every pause means I’m afraid I can live with the ache of a detour And wake with something left to save [Final Chorus] I’m a comet at the edge of the blue Bearing down on the life that I knew I could strike, I could scatter it wide Or bend my fire and pass on by I don’t have to vanish to change my course I can keep the heat without the wreckage I’m still moving, still carrying force I can miss the earth and keep my name [Outro] I pass close, but I don’t come apart Still burning, still here, still on my way [Instrumental Cadence]
