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.
