Cecilia and the Satellite

[Verse 1]

I locked myself in a hotel room

Then waited all night for the walls to move

I’ve loved some girls that I barely knew

I’ve made some friends, and I’ve lost some, too

Crashed my car, I was seventeen

My mother in the seat riding next to me

The things I’ve learned from a broken mirror

How a face can change when a heart knows fear

[Pre-Chorus]

For all the things my eyes have seen

The best by far is you

[Chorus]

If I could fly, then I would know

What life looks like from up above and down below

I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry

Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite

And you’re the sky

[Verse 2]

I’ve café-crawled through Amsterdam

Been around the world with a punk rock band

And I’ve seen London, and I’ve played Japan

I’ve been knocked down; I got up again

[Pre-Chorus]

For all the places I have been

I’m no place without you

[Chorus]

If I could fly, then I would know

What life looks like from up above and down below

I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry

Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite

And you’re the sky

[Post-Chorus]

I’m the satellite

And you’re the sky

[Pre-Chorus]

For all the things my hands have held

The best by far is you

[Chorus]

If I could fly, then I would know

What life looks like from up above and down below

I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry

Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite

And you’re the sky

[Outro]

And you’re the sky

I’m the satellite

And you’re the sky

And you’re the sky
