Orbiting
Once, I heard someone say
That every hello is a goodbye waiting
And I took those words to heart
To shield it from breaking
Once, I heard someone say
That in love you must be brave
But this I could no longer dare
The peril was too grave
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for what love is all about
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for the fastest way out
I kept my distance, orbiting
Like Venus, I strayed too close to the Sun
And I was burnt, and I learned how to run
And as I ran (and as I ran)
I ran too far (I ran too far)
I began to freeze
I could find no ease
And so, I was in a strange place
Watching others taking part in love's great race
Watching them collide and drift off-course
Asking why, when I was safe, I still felt remorse
And I didn't want to stay (and I didn't want to stay)
And I didn't want to go (and I didn't want to go)
I kept my distance, orbiting
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for what love is all about
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for the fastest way out
I kept my distance, orbiting
Saxophone solo
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for what love is all about
And I didn't want to stay
And I didn't want to go
Looking for the fastest way out
I kept my distance, orbiting
