Lyrics

[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 17
My mother in the seat, ridin' next to me
The things I've learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear
[Verse 2]
For all the things my eyes have seen
The best by far is you
[Verse 3]
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 4]
I've cafe 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
[Verse 5]
For all the places I have been
I'm no place without you
[Verse 6]
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 7]
I'm the satellite
And you're the sky
[Verse 8]
For all the things my hands have held
The best by far is you
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
And you're the sky
And you're the sky
I'm the satellite
And you're the sky
And you're the sky
