The Orbit

Intro

Oh oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

You called

Dial tone ringing loud

Words stumbling out while you wept on the sofa

Safe harbor was all you needed

Pre-Chorus

I grin

I bear it

Watching you lean on the edge of the ledge

Chorus

Stuck in the orbit of being a brother

Brother to you but a ghost to myself

Stuck in the habit of holding your secrets

Secrets that kill me and keep me around

Keep me around

Keep me around

Verse 2

Dining

Telling the waiter we are not together

Little laughs like salt on the red open wound

I sink further back into my plastic seat

Pre-Chorus

I grin

I bear it

Watching you lean on the edge of the ledge

Chorus

Stuck in the orbit of being a brother

Brother to you but a ghost to myself

Stuck in the habit of holding your secrets

Secrets that kill me and keep me around

Keep me around

Keep me around

Bridge

Maybe I stay

Maybe I wait

Maybe I wither away

Searching for some kind of glimpse of a glimmer

Wishing the lens in your eyes would just shift

Chorus

Stuck in the orbit of being a brother

Brother to you but a ghost to myself

Stuck in the habit of holding your secrets

Secrets that kill me and keep me around

Keep me around

Keep me around
