Quarter past two and the rain's on the glass

Same bar, same brass, and I'm holding fast

Your cologne in the linen, the low Rhodes hum

I swore I was farthest away — how'd I come

Right back to the same lit room

Same slow pull like a silver spoon

Stirring something I laid to rest

I already know how I score on this test

I keep my eyes on the door but my body knows

Moves like a tide without telling me so

Every orbit I swore I was done with you

Ends with me back in this room

Your gravity, I hit aphelion

Thought I finally made it out this time

But I'm back in your atmosphere

Running out of reasons, running out of lines

Your gravity, your gravity

Every exit I planned turned into a slow decline

Back in your gravity

The brass cuts low on the offbeat sway

You don't even try and you pull me that way

I know the story, I know the twist

I know how this ends when you move like this

The floor between us is charged and lit

My good sense waves from the door and quits

Every orbit I swore I was done with you

Ends with me back in this room

Your gravity, I hit aphelion

Thought I finally made it out this time

But I'm back in your atmosphere

Running out of reasons, running out of lines

Your gravity, your gravity

Every exit I planned turned into a slow decline

Back in your gravity

Maybe it's not weakness

Maybe it's just physics

Every mass attracts

And I'm the living proof of that fact

I've been naming this wrong the whole time

It's not falling — it's just what orbits do

I don't escape you

I take the long way through

Your gravity, I hit aphelion

I know I'll never really make it out

But I'm back in your atmosphere

And honestly I'm done pretending I'm without

Your gravity, your gravity

Every exit I planned turned into the long way home

Back in your gravity — yeah, I know

Same brass, same rain, same room

Aphelion — I'll be back soon
