You pull me closer Every time I look away I know exactly where this ends Still I stay ...in this orbital decay I felt the shift before I saw it Started timing how long before I'd check Counting minutes like they owed me something Watching the doorway more than I'd admit I stopped keeping things on your side Left the second hook beside the door Didn't name it, didn't question Just made room I hadn't made before I should have caught it in the early weeks When I started finishing your sentences But every pattern I identified I filed away and called it preference I can feel the pull increasing Though the frame is coming apart We're in orbital decay Still chasing the collision (Orbital decay) I go quieter when you're in the building Pitch my voice a half-step lower than I mean I rearrange what I was going to say Into something you won't push against I started keeping the things you like in stock Without deciding that was what I'd do This body making changes I didn't approve before I've even admitted what's happening I catch myself already mid-concession Before you've asked for anything at all every reflex already pointed at you Answering a question you didn't ask I know the numbers I know the outcome Still I accelerate We're in orbital decay Turning circles into impact Every mile we lose We never get back You bend the light around you You draw the dark through me And I would call it love If it would set me free We're in orbital decay Still chasing the collision Maybe I mistook the pressure For the feeling of release I go quiet in rooms where you've been Because quiet there sounds like peace I don't call it pull I don't call it anything Every time I reach the door I'm already turning back We're in orbital decay Turning circles into impact (Every mile we lose) (We never get back) You bend the light around you You draw the dark through me And I would call it love If it would set me free (Orbital decay) (Orbital decay) We're in orbital decay Still chasing the collision And I would call it love But it won't set me free You pull the horizon closer And I stay
