[Verse]

Used to always orchestrate it

To run into you

To run into you

Emotion’s somethin’ crazy, ain’t it

Honey, we can’t disprove

What it makes us do


[Pre-Chorus]

You're the conductor

I'm the strings

To your every move resonating

First chair in your grand symphony

Last one facing the melody

Of how I wanted you

Oh, how I wanted you


[Chorus]

Hating myself for twisting, turning

Losing out to every yearning

Trying to be something you might want

Every note in every second

Every beat in every measure

Playing to an audience long gone

So I'm leaving your orchestra


[Verse]

Too many years I stayed in orbit

Always circling, circling

Around a magic false and jaded

Oh such a brilliant sun

Hard as I tried to run


[Pre-Chorus]

You're the conductor, I'm the strings

To your every move resonating


[Chorus]

Hating myself for twisting, turning

Losing out to every yearning

Trying to be something you might want

Every note in every second

Every beat in every measure

Playing to an audience long gone

So I'm leaving your orchestra

Oh I'm leaving your orchestra


[Bridge]

O wait - play back the tape

Go all the way

Now notice in the opening scene

Who's making moves from the very beginning

Was you who spotted me

Set up the board, every chess piece

And lured me into your fantasy

Yeah you, you used to always orchestrate it

You used to always


[Chorus]

And I hated myself for twisting, turning

Losing out to every yearning

Trying to be something you might want

Every note in every second

Every beat in every measure

Playing to an audience long gone

So I'm leaving your orchestra

Oh, I'm leaving your orchestra

I gotta leave, I gotta leave

I got to leave

I'm leaving your orchestra
