[Intro]
I left your name on the mission glass
Watched it blur as the engines passed
[Verse 1]
You said the distance would make us clean
But every mile keeps you in between
I count the moons on the cabin wall
Still hear your footsteps through it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Male: I carried your photograph past the sun
Female: You carried a silence I couldn't outrun
Both: We crossed the dark, but the dark stayed true
Every horizon pointed back to you
[Chorus]
Male: Terra Nova, I’m falling through
Female: Every new world still looks like you
Male: I broke my heart where the cold stars turn
Female: You were the home I refused to learn
Both: Outside space, inside pain
No new sky can wash your name
[Verse 2]
Female: The radio coughs, then loses the line
Male: Your last goodbye keeps perfect time
Female: I touch the glass, the planet turns
Male: Some fires fade, some only burn
[Pre-Chorus]
Female: I carried your photograph past the sun
Male: You carried a silence I couldn't outrun
Both: We crossed the dark, but the dark stayed true
Every horizon pointed back to you
[Chorus]
Male: Terra Nova, I’m falling through
Female: Every new world still looks like you
Male: I broke my heart where the cold stars turn
Female: You were the home I refused to learn
Both: Outside space, inside pain
No new sky can wash your name
[Bridge]
Female: If I land where nobody knows me
Male: Will your ghost still pull me below?
Female: If I sleep beneath unfamiliar weather
Male: Will I wake with nowhere to go?
Both: I wanted distance, I got forever
I wanted freedom, I lost us together
[Breakdown]
Male: Don’t call it progress
Female: Don’t call it gone
Male: I’m still orbiting
Female: Still holding on
Both: Terra Nova, turn me loose
Or send me back to what I knew
[Final Chorus]
Both: Terra Nova, I’m falling through
Every new world still looks like you
I broke my heart where the cold stars turn
You were the home I refused to learn
Outside space, inside pain
No new sky can wash your name
[Outro]
Female: The engines cool
Male: The silence stays
Both: I cross new worlds
And lose you the same
