"Orbiter" lyrics - NOAH KAHAN

I look exhausted
Oh, stiff and awkward on the outside of a moment
And it's not my first time bitter-drunk on a red carpet
Or my first time losing
And it won't be my last

You said, "Ignore it
Oh, California's so much more than some awards show
You're no more important than an insect on a window
They'll see you climbing but won't care until you get close"

[Chorus:]
You said some people don't know why they're wolves
They just howl for the sound of it
Some will never know they're beautiful
Until a crowd points it out for them
But I see you through the camera flash
And I look back, and you laugh
And this is hard, but I feel less far

[Outro:]
This ain't Watertown, I'm on alien ground
I'm a college kid with my windows down
I'm an astronaut, you're the Moon
I stare at you, I sing to you
And I clutch my cloth, and I bite my tongue
I'm an aging wolf who lost the taste for blood
But even anxious pups need the Moon
I howl for you, I sing to you
I circle you
For you
