Ashes In Orbit

[Verse 1]
I found your coat in the rain
By the back stair door
Still smells like smoke
And the floorboards sore

Your name in my throat
Like a thorn I keep
I hit that note
But it cuts too deep

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the lock
Let it shake
I can feel
What it takes

Hands all black
From the climb
Still I hear you
One more time

[Chorus]
Ashes in orbit
(ashes in orbit)
You keep coming back
You keep coming back

Ashes in orbit
(ashes in orbit)
I burn for a second
Then I turn to black

[Verse 2]
The sink runs red
With a rusted song
I wrote your face
Where it don’t belong

Heavy boots
On the kitchen tile
I stood my ground
For a crooked mile

You pulled me close
Then you pulled away
Now every room
Has a price to pay

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the lock
Let it shake
I can feel
What it takes

Hands all black
From the climb
Still I hear you
One more time

[Chorus]
Ashes in orbit
(ashes in orbit)
You keep coming back
You keep coming back

Ashes in orbit
(ashes in orbit)
I burn for a second
Then I turn to black

[Bridge]
[Electric Guitar Solo]
We were thunder in a paper town
Now the windows lean and the lights all drown
Take what’s mine
Take the wound
I’ll meet you there
In the afterglow moon

[Final Chorus]
Ashes in orbit
(ashes in orbit)
You keep coming back
You keep coming back

Ashes in orbit
(ashes in orbit)
I burn for a second
Then I turn to black

Ashes in orbit
(ashes in orbit)
Hold my name down
Hold my name down
