Orbit Lyrics by Grace Petrie

Mark My Words

2011

[Verse 1]
Shadow heart
Growing colder still
Don't you know
If you haven't made it yet, you never will
So cut the cord
Before you die by your own sword, oh
My sweet lord

[Chorus]
I could have been an astronaut
I could have been James Dean
All of the things I could've been
I never could be yours at seventeen

[Verse 2]
Shadow heart
Growing ever dark
Don't you know
You're gonna tear yourself apart

[Chorus]
Oh and I never made you
Nothing with my hands
All that I ever made you was
The centre of my plans

[Chorus]
Don't panic if you can't see me
For the cloud
I'll orbit around you, baby
Until I burn out

[Bridge]
Sometimes we go so fast
I just can't see us moving
Sometimes we go so fast
I just can't see us moving
Sometimes we go so fast
I just can't see us moving
Sometimes we go so fast
I just can't see us moving

[Chorus]
Don't panic if you can't see me
For the cloud
I'll orbit around you, baby
Till I burn out
Till I burn out
Till I burn out
Till I burn out
