lyrics

Where are you my dear, in the deep Atlantic?
In the dark its your voice I hear
Telling me the ocean floor's gigantic

I’m going to need you, I'm going to plead you
To say goodbye to the creatures down below
To swim up through a thousand shades of black and blue
Slice through waves like knifes in the snow

You’ll set off from the sea into the sky
And light up like a firefly, burn a hole in the charcoal sky
That way I’ll make it through another night
When I’m curled up in sheets, covered by your hazy light

You always liked the feel of wind on your face
I always stare at that gray globe anyway
I think you’ll like your home at an arms length from space
I think this will start to feel like home again any day
So love, join the others stars in peppering the night
Sit, or fly, be at ease
But stay as high as you can fly
You gotta keep this weight light
You've got to never leave my sight

You’re gonna be my satellite
Oh I’ll find you squinting at me far across the sky
You’re gonna stay here til the burning light
Of the sun that sets across a sea I nearly cried
And we’re gonna make it through another night
When we’re curled up in our beds, and life she’s got us tired
Yeah you will be my satellite
My only night light, always my satellite
Yeah you will be my satellite
Always my satellite (I'm going to need you)
Always my satellite (I'm going to need you)
Please be my satellite
