10. Retrograde

[Verse 1] Neon lines on the ceiling, flicker like a warning sign. Coffee cup, another feeling I keep stirring out of time. I swear I’m moving forward fast, but I end up where I was last. [Chorus] I keep spinning in retrograde, back to the mess I thought I’d escaped. Every heartbeat, same parade, I can’t outrun what I’ve replayed. You’re the pull I can’t evade — I keep spinning in retrograde. [Verse 2] Half the truth on a voicemail, half a drink on the floor. Every time I think I’ve nailed the reason I still want more, gravity just pulls me down, to the same small part of town. [Chorus] I keep spinning in retrograde, back to the mess I thought I’d escaped. Every heartbeat, same parade, I can’t outrun what I’ve replayed. You’re the pull I can’t evade — I keep spinning in retrograde. [Bridge] Static on the stereo, we never change the station though. Every signal says let go — but I never do. [Final Chorus] I keep spinning in retrograde, chasing the ghosts that never fade. Every promise I’ve betrayed, burns like light I can’t replace. You’re the pull I can’t evade — I keep spinning in retrograde.
