Satellites

[Verse 1]

Your dog just bit me, but I know he didn't mean it

Why does every good intention tend to need me to believe it?

You called and lit me up, then told me to stay seated

Always asking me our ending, interrupting to complete it

[Chorus]

And 'cause you tell yourself this story more than half the time

You've got the rest of us in orbit like your satellites

And while I'm churning at a rate that turns the years to light

You aren't watching as I bandage up another bitе

And I make such a deal of using words syllabically

So you're too busy sounding out to shufflе after me

There's nothing you like less than knowing someone's past your grip

[Post-Chorus]

You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it

You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it

[Verse 2]

You make a living sweeping floors and speaking softly

All the while your spiral galaxy is rising 'til it's godly

Metamorphosing from a person to a beacon

You are standing, diagnosing, I'm just waiting to repeat it

[Chorus]

And 'cause you tell yourself this story more than half the time

You've got the rest of us in orbit like your satellites

And while I'm churning at a rate that turns the years to light

You aren't watching as I topple from a distant height

And I make such a deal of using words syllabically

So you're too busy sounding out to shuffle after me

There's nothing you like less than knowing someone's past your grip

[Post-Chorus]

You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it

You put me into space, then hate me when I ask for it

[Outro]

Don't bark like it's high divining

Don't bite and expect no bruise

Don't start with the diatribing

Then spite all the love you lose

Don't bark at the cosmic timing

Don't bite 'cause you're not amused

Don't start with the caustic whining

Then spite all the love you lose

Then spite all the love you lose

Then spite all the love you lose

Then spite all the love you lose

Then spite all the love you lose

(Then spite all the love you lose)

(Then spite all the love you lose)

Your dog just bit me, but I know he didn't mean it

(Then spite all the love you lose)

(Then spite all the love you lose)

Why does every good intention tend to need me to believe it?
