⸻ [LYRICS] Verse 1 Another station night on recycled air, Boots by the door but she ain’t there, Stars don’t blink, they just stare me down, Like they know I’m stuck on this side of town. Battery light on the comm goes red, Every word we didn’t say in my head, Flight suit still smells like jet burn regret, And the ghosts of who I ain’t been yet. Pre-Chorus I close my eyes but the dark won’t keep, All these miles and I still can’t sleep. Chorus I’ve been losin’ sleep in the black of space, Driftin’ through her memory, time can’t erase, Every jump feels like I’m runnin’ in place, Tryin’ to outrun a goodbye I can’t escape. Engines hum where her voice used to be, Now it’s just static talkin’ back to me, Yeah I’m wide awake where I used to dream, Just losin’ sleep in the space between. Verse 2 Bright lights fade on the landing pad, Another cheap drink I can’t afford to have, Crew comes back but I fly alone, Talkin’ to God through a silent phone. Her name’s still etched on the dash by hand, Right next to maps of forgotten plans, Every contract says “Dangerous Run,” But the worst one’s the one that I’m runnin’ from. Pre-Chorus Every jump just replays the scene, Her tail lights disappearin’ green. Chorus I’ve been losin’ sleep in the black of space, Driftin’ through her memory, time can’t erase, Every jump feels like I’m runnin’ in place, Tryin’ to outrun a goodbye I can’t escape. Engines hum where her voice used to be, Now it’s just static talkin’ back to me, Yeah I’m wide awake where I used to dream, Just losin’ sleep in the space between. Bridge I’d trade every credit I ever made, Every clean escape and every save, Just to hear her say my name again, Like she did before the fall began. But space don’t care and time don’t stall, It just takes what you love and lets it fall. Breakdown (Half-Time) Medbay lights and a restless mind, Respawn scars I can’t leave behind, I keep wakin’ up from dreams I keep, Yeah the verse gets worse when you lose sleep. Final Chorus I’ve been losin’ sleep in the cold starlight, Chasin’ her shadow through endless nights, Every system feels the same inside, Just a different sky and the same goodbye. Engines cry where her touch should be, Now it’s just the void starin’ back at me, Yeah I’m wide awake where I used to dream, Just losin’ sleep in the space between. Outro One day maybe I’ll dock this pain, Power down all the ghosts in my brain, ‘Til then I fly through a silent deep… Still losin’ sleep.
