The countdown hums in quiet rooms
Old dreams packed like carry-ons
Your shadow lingers in the glass
As engines ask if this will last
We learned to speak in borrowed time
Through static, silence, data lines
No promise breaks, no feeling bends
Just distance learning how to end
There's a moon between us now
Not a wall, not a vow
It pulls us close, it pulls us far
Still we circle who we are
There's a moon between us still
Bending love against our will
Far apart, but tethered true
Every orbit leads to you
White rockets cut the velvet sky
Leaving Earth on soft goodbye
Your name stays warm inside my chest
As gravity forgets the rest
I don't need your hand right here
I feel you when the stars appear
What we are won't drift apart
It's coded deep in who we are
There's a moon between us now
Not a wall, not a vow
It pulls us close, it pulls us far
Still we circle who we are
There's a moon between us still
Bending love against our will
Far apart, but tethered true
Every orbit leads to you
Mars waits quiet, red and wide
Not a place for us to hide
Every mile we leave behind
Tests the strength of heart and mind
There's a moon between us here
Turning absence into near
Not goodbye, not overdue
Just the space we travel through
There's a moon between us still
Proof that distance never will
Break the shape of what we knew
Every orbit leads to you
When the signal fades from view
I still feel aligned with you
