Your silence is a question |
|
to what I couldn't say |
|
I see it in your tension |
|
I let it slip away. |
|
I know I never told you |
|
I should have done it then |
|
I could have tried to hold you |
|
instead I turned and ran. |
|
Did you know that I was dying |
|
did you know that I was waiting for my ride? |
|
the constellation of Orion |
|
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 |
|
if I ever fell behind |
|
I know it doesn't matter |
|
cause I'll be leaving soon |
|
I'll try and send you letters |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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... |
|
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. |
|
So if you ever miss me |
|
just look up - |
|
look up to the sky. |
