Orbiter

I look exhausted, oh stiff and awkward on the outside of the moment It's not my first time bitter drunk on a red carpet Or my first time losing, and it won't be my last You said ignore it Oh, California's so much more than some award show You're no more important than an insect on a window They'll see you climbing but won't care until you get close You said some people don't know why they're wolves They just howl for the sound of it Some will never know they're beautiful Until the crowd points it out for them But I see you through a camera flash I look back and you laugh and this is hard But I feel less far This ain't Watertown I'm on alien ground I'm a college kid With my windows down I'm an astronaut You're the moon I stare at you I sing to you I circle you Rain on a steel roof, leaks through the ceiling Hits the patrons in the ballroom You said "oh look babe, even God is trying to warn you All this ain't for you" But I cling to my seat I guess some people don't know why they're wolves They just howl for the sound of it Some will never know they're beautiful Until the crowd points it out for them But I see you through a camera flash I look back and you laugh and this is hard But I feel less far This ain't Watertown I'm on alien ground I'm a college kid With my windows down I'm an astronaut You're the moon I stare at you I sing to you And I clutch my cloth And I bite my tongue I'm an aging wolf Who lost the taste for blood Even anxious pups need the moon I howl for you I sing to you I circle you I circle you I circle you If I'm gonna lose you either way If I'm gonna lose you either way If I'm gonna lose you either way If I'm gonna lose you either way
