Intro, Ambient Whisper] (mmm... ohhh...) [Soft pads, reverse reverb swells] "Burn me back through the blue... whoever lands won't be who flew." [Verse 1, Soft Flow] She lets the planet pull her down, a falling star above the town. I sealed the latch, I chose the line, the fire outside was almost mine. Below the clouds a city waits, (but someone else walks through the gates). [Drop, Chorus] Who comes home when the capsule cracks, nobody counts who flew it back. The girl who left is not the same, the heat rewrote her like a name. Reentry... reentry... burning clean, reentry... reentry... in between, (in between...) [Verse 2, Hush] She splashes down in glassy dark, the rescue boats can't see the spark. I waved them off, I held my breath, I wore the calm I learned from death. (they ask me how the mission went... I lie). [Chorus, Drop, Echo Layer] Who comes home when the capsule cracks, nobody counts who flew it back. The girl who left is not the same, the heat rewrote her like a name. Reentry... reentry... burning clean, reentry... reentry... in between. [Bridge, Ghost Layered] (she's in the hull... she never left...) The salt along my jaw is not the sea, something old is leaving me. My voice is steady, my smile is wide, (but she's the falling I still ride). [Chorus, Outro, Whisper Drop] Who comes home when the capsule cracks, nobody counts who flew it back... Reentry... reentry... burning clean... (in between... in between...) [Outro, Fading Echo] (ahhh... ohhh... mmm...) (the ocean stills... she stays...)
