Orion

Lyrics

Your silence is a question To what I couldn't say I see it in your tension (I wanna kiss you but) I let it slip away I know I never told you I should've done it then I could have tried to hold you ('cause I needed you) Instead I turned and ran Did you know that I was dying (Did you know? Did you know?) Did you know that I was waiting for my ride? The constellation of Orion (Did you know? Did you know? Did you know?) So bright that night But did you know that I was fading (fading, fading, fading) Maybe I was hanging on to find You'd be there to save me (You'd be there, you'd be there, you'd be there) If I ever fell behind (Don't wanna talk about it, don't wanna think about it) If I ever fell behind It doesn't really matter (I'm running out of time) 'Cause I'll be going soon I'll try and send you letters (I'll write you poetry) And postcards from the moon I'll hear it if you call me You have to know it's true It gets a little lonely I hope you miss me too But did you know that I was dying Did you know that I was waiting for my ride? The constellation of Orion (Did you know? Did you know? Did you know?) So bright that night Did you know that I was fading Maybe I was hanging on to find You'd be there to save me (You'd be there, you'd be there, you'd be there) If I ever fell behind When the shooting stars hit the city lights I could tell that we would live forever You and I Standing outside, gazing at the sky; Feeling so alive Alive... (Don't wanna think about it) (Don't wanna talk about it) (I've got to leave this one behind and I can't do without it.) If you knew that I was dying If you knew that I was waiting for my ride Still waiting, hoping For you tonight I'm getting tired of trying My destination's glittering up high The constellation of Orion Is where I'm going to fly (into the dark, dark, dark) So if you ever miss me Just look up (If I ever fell behind) Look up to the sky
