Used to be we had it all, inseparable.
We traveled everywhere together.
But now that we have grown apart
We've been blown apart.
Unraveling, we're less than stellar.
But there's a bitter path to break the pattern.
Better a tragic void than trajectories we can avoid.
Now, we're traveling in these strange orbits,
Looking for the space when it's really gonna take some time.
Now, traveling in these strange orbits,
Comfort from colliding comes with a dividing line.
I can't believe your halo glow that filled my room
Could leave me so hollow, doomed, and empty.
And every time I turn to go before you see
Or be burned up upon re-entry.
All the old routines, you know I miss them.
Alone on our solo missions
Through this lonely solar system.
Now, we're traveling in these strange orbits,
Making science fiction of friction and dishonesty.
Now, traveling in these strange orbits,
We're taken for a ride on this saddest, oddest, odyssey.
Love, I've got no interest in its origin.
I've seen how it begins and I know how it ends.
Love has its stages that we must transcend:
The Big Crush, the Big Bang, the Big Drift, the Big Pretend.
A change of heart's charted course can never cross the border
Because the universe restores a natural restraining order.
Now, traveling in these strange orbits,
My universe collapses or maybe it's just yours expanding.
Now, traveling in these strange orbits,
There's no looking back trying to find a brave, new, understanding.
Traveling in these strange orbits.
