Neptune

(Verse 1) I am tilted on a broken axis Watching your light from a frozen distance. There’s a vocabulary I haven’t mastered yet— The words to tell you how my inner world is set. I see you shining in a different sky While I keep my gravity tucked inside. (Pre-Chorus) And it’s a quiet kind of thunder A storm that never breaks the surface. I watch you gravitate toward him And I wonder if my silence has a purpose. (Chorus) Oh, Uranus, cold and bright I’m a ghost in your pale blue light. Loving you is a secret I keep Like a diamond rain, buried deep. I’m orbiting the things I’ll never say Watching you drift a million miles away. (Verse 2) The space between us is an icy sea And he is the sun where I can never be. I memorize the way you laugh at his jokes While my heart is a fire that only breathes smoke. It’s a beautiful ache, a graceful fall To love you completely and say nothing at all. (Bridge) (Intense, swelling strings) Seven rings of silver, seven layers of pride I’m a giant made of everything I hide. Let him be your atmosphere, let him be your air I’ll just be the shadow that was always there. Always there. Always there. (Chorus) Oh, Uranus, cold and bright I’m a ghost in your pale blue light. Loving you is a secret I keep Like a diamond rain, buried deep. I’m orbiting the things I’ll never say Watching you drift a million miles away. (Outro) (Fading piano notes) Spinning in the dark. A silent spark. I’m right here... But you’re light-years away.
