Orion

Orion shot me through the heart
I fell in love and fell apart
Do you see how much damage you could do to me?
That's why I left so quickly
You left your love up for grabs
I couldn't even fight for that
Left you waiting on the street
Have you ever thought of me since that night?

And oh
Wish I could do it over again
And oh
Wish that I could still call you friend

Still growing in my wisdom teeth
Don't know much more at eighteen
I don't speak the words you do
They taste bitter
I feel blue inside
Saw your heart spelled out on the floor
You're all I'd ever need and more
But I skipped town
You watched me leave
Why can't my love be easy?
But you tried

I'm on a hairpin trigger
Waiting for the right moment to go
Silence lingers
Will I ever find real home?

Fall closes in with a storm
And I have no religion to keep me warm
Losing time, the leaves go dry
Something sharp hangs in the night
Moon is high
Bright green eyes
Pulled me in with a smile
