[Intro] [soft keys, vinyl crackle, distant chopped vocal echoes] [Verse 1] Starlight on my checklist Fuel gauge grinning, stress-less Got crumbs in the cockpit Snack wrap, stained on the press-kit Drift past dust and static thoughts Inbox full of canceled plots I just let the autopilot Trace my name across the dark Sip from a lukewarm thermos Read logs like half-formed verses Ping from a distant surface “Dock soon?” I just tap “working” Face in the glass, look faded Same old doubts, upgraded Every jump, same question “Is this far enough from yesterday?” [Chorus] I just drift between the orbits Let the long miles talk for me Every quiet little quadrant Feels like somewhere I could sleep If I vanish in the black now Tell the past it can’t come too I just drift between the orbits ’Til the next waypoint is you [Verse 2] Cargo hold full of maybe Old dreams packed in the A bay One broke toy from my eight days Floats when I cut the grav-weight Checklist, flip through, skip it Half these rules? I reinvent them Plot line bends, I’m tempted To mute the map and guess it Stars look close, still distant Like friends I left mid-sentence Signal bars keep blinking But I ghost each new transmission If silence had an address It’d share mine, I confess Still I find your name embedded In the code of every rest [Chorus] I just drift between the orbits Let the long miles talk for me Every quiet little quadrant Feels like somewhere I could sleep If I vanish in the black now Tell the past it can’t come too I just drift between the orbits ’Til the next waypoint is you
