Ellipses

[Verse 1] We wore the carpet down to the floorboards Pacing the same lines, fighting the same wars I anchored down, you drifted away Caught in the loop of a broken replay [Pre-Chorus] Every winter leaves a different frost We keep mapping out a bridge we crossed No matter how we sprint, the scenery stays Maybe we're just meant for the maze [Chorus] We keep spinning in ellipses, ellipses Waltzing through a room of our own eclipses You're holding your breath so I'll shatter first I'm drinking the sand just to hide the thirst Round and round, the compass spins Losing the place where the end begins We keep spinning in ellipses, ellipses Maybe it's time to let the grip slip [Verse 2] There was a fever, a blinding light Now every touch is a ghost in the night We called it destiny, written in stone But we're just two strangers afraid to be alone [Pre-Chorus] I hear the static underneath your voice And feel the distance in every choice We've been terrified to turn on the light Because the shadows are all we've got right [Chorus] We keep spinning in ellipses, ellipses Waltzing through a room of our own eclipses You're holding your breath so I'll shatter first I'm drinking the sand just to hide the thirst Round and round, the compass spins Losing the place where the end begins We keep spinning in ellipses, ellipses Maybe it's time to let the grip slip [Bridge] Tell me now, who are we trying to save? Watering flowers on an empty grave If love is a room with the walls closing in I'm dropping the keys, I won't do it again [Final Chorus] No more spinning in ellipses, ellipses No more hiding in the dark eclipses You don't have to be the villain who leaves I don't have to be the one who grieves Round and round, the orbit breaks Sometimes the fall is the choice it takes No more spinning in ellipses, ellipses I know it's time to let the grip slip [Outro] Let it slip Let it slip We were never meant to orbit like this Let it slip
