lyrics
(a porch light buzzing) Your porch light burns at 2 a.m. I count the moths, I envy them They get to circle, get to burn I drive past slow, then make the turn (and turn, and turn) It isn't love if I stay quiet (quiet, quiet) It's just a hunger on a diet I orbit you — I don't come down I orbit you through half the town I orbit you — a silent sound I orbit you and don't touch ground (down, down, down) I know your curtains, blue then black Which stair would creak if I came back I keep your bobby pin in a jar A little relic, a little scar (a little scar) If you looked out once — just once — I'd pretend to be the dark. (the dark, the dark) I orbit you — I don't come down I orbit you through half the town I orbit you — a silent sound I orbit you and don't touch ground (down, down, down) (the porch light clicks off) Goodnight.
