Orion

Your silence is a question
 to what I couldn't say
 I see it in your tension
 I let it slip away.
 I know I never told you
 I should have done it then
 I could have tried to hold you
 instead I turned and ran.
 Did you know that I was dying
 did you know that I was waiting for my ride?
 the constellation of Orion
 so bright that night
 Did you know that I was fading
 maybe I was hanging on to find
 you'd be there to save me
 if I ever fell behind
 I know it doesn't matter
 cause I'll be leaving soon
 I'll try and send you letters
 and postcards from the moon
 I'll hear it if you call me
 you have to know it's true
 It gets a little lonely
 I hope you miss me too.
 But did you know that I was dying
 did you know that I was waiting for my ride?
 the constellation of Orion
 so bright that night
 Did you know that I was fading
 maybe I was hanging on to find
 you'd be there to save me
 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
 alive...
 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
 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.
