Ballad of Orin

(Did you know, did you know)

Your silence is a question
To what I couldn't say
I see it in your tension
(I wanna kiss you)
I let it slip away.
I know I never told you
I should have done it then
I could have tried to hold you
(Cause I needed you)
Instead I turned and ran.

Did you know that I was dying
(Did you know, did you know)
Did you know that I was waiting for my ride?
The constellation of Orion
(Did you know, did you know, did you know)
So bright that night
But did you know that I was fading
(Fading, fading)
Maybe I was hanging on to find
You'd be there to save me
(You'd be there, you'd be there, you'd be there)
If I ever fell behind

(Don't wanna talk about it)
(Don't wanna think about it)
(If I ever fell behind)
(Wish I could go on without it)
(Wish I could live without it)

I know it doesn't matter
(I'm running out of time)
Cause I'll be leaving soon
I'll try and send you letters
(I'll write you poetry)
And postcards from the moon
I'll hear it if you call me
You have to know it's true
(Please remember that)
It gets a little lonely
I hope you miss me too

Did you know that I was dying
(Did you know, did you know)
Did you know that I was waiting for my ride?
The constellation of Orion
(Did you know, did you know, did you know)
So bright that night
Did you know that I was fading
(Fading, fading, fading)
Maybe I was hanging on to find
You'd be there to save me
(You'd be there, you'd be there, you'd be there)
If I ever fell behind

When the shooting stars hit the city lights
I could tell that we would live forever,
You and I,
Standing outside, gazing at the sky;
Feeling so alive
(Don't wanna talk about it)
(Don't wanna think about it)
(I gotta leave this love behind)
(And I can't deal without it)
Alive...
(If I'm complete without it)
(Then I could live without it)

If you knew that I was dying
If you knew that I was waiting for my ride
Still waiting (hoping)
For you tonight
I'm getting tired of trying
(Did you know)
My destination's glittering up high
The constellation of Orion
Is where I'm going to fly.
So if you ever miss me
Just look up
Look up to the sky
(If I ever fell behind)
Look up to the sky
