Orbiting
Reese Lansangan
[Verse 1]
We had a moment to ourselves
Yeah it’s been a while, I know
Was never with somebody else
That came close before you
But I had to let you go in the end, and
And time has done its turn
Putting distance between us
But here we go again, and by now
I should be used to dancing in the dark
Tripping over each other
I need to leave you here
But I’m still learning how

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And just like that
You’re haunting me slowly
Terrified to not be
Your only onе
But I’m no longer
Anyone
And now I wonder
[Chorus]
Arе we just friends?
Are we gonna pretend
That nothing happened in the end?
I’m wondering if we ever came
Close to more than just friends
Is this how you and I both end?
Forever orbiting each other
And yet never quite colliding into love

[Verse 2]
We’ve been strangers for some time
But I knew you like the back of my hand
I love and hate you all at once
I had hoped that we’d make it
But I had to let you go in the end, and
In favor of the only one
Who still holds your heart
The one you couldn’t give to me
And all I took were pieces of the love you used to have
The love that I had settled for until it dawned on me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
That even though this is
What I’ve wanted
Gravity won’t let me
Into your orbit, no
Can’t occupy it
Now I don’t know
Can’t occupy it
[Chorus]
Are we just friends?
Are we gonna pretend
That nothing happened in the end?
I’m wondering if we ever came
Close to more than just friends
Is this how you and I both end?
Forever orbiting each other
And yet never quite colliding into love

[Bridge]
I’m sorry if I still write about you
I apologize for putting you in song
I surrender to the forces of nature
Just go ahead and chase for the girl
That you loved all along
And maybe this time
I’ll learn to let you go

[Chorus]
Are we just friends?
Are we gonna pretend
That nothing happened in the end?
I’m wondering if we ever came
Close to more than just friends
Is this how you and I both end?
Forever orbiting each other
And yet never quite colliding
[Outro]
Can I make it with you
If I orbit around you?
Will I lose me in you
If I orbit around you?
Can I make it with you
If I orbit around you?
Will I just break in two
If I orbit around you?
Can I make it with you
If I orbit around you?
Will I lose me in you
If I orbit around you?
Will I make it with you
If I orbit around you?
Will I just break in two
If I orbit around you?
