Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You live untethered
Come back down, my love
Freedom don't always lead you forward
Sometimes you can't know too much
[Verse 2]
Flyin' so fast and careless
You trust the clouds will catch your fall
But dreams can drown when you're not looking
Dancing on the wrecking ball
[Chorus]
You ain't got to try so hard
You ain't got to try so hard
To put yourself so high above the world
Don't you hide the truth of who you really are
Just be yourself
My satellite girl
[Verse 3]
I get why you're up there
Swinging among the stars
You feel seen and heard there
It seems you can do no wrong
[Verse 4]
But how do you feel 'bout floating
When you're so high and alone?
Can you see me holding
Your heart here at home?
[Chorus]
You ain't got to try so hard
You ain't got to try so hard
To put yourself so high above the world
Don't you hide the truth of who you really are
Just be yourself
My satellite girl
My satellite
My satellite girl
[Bridge]
It's alright
Let your light come on through
It's alright
Oh, let your light come on through
It's alright
Hey, let your light come on through, oh
It's alright
Shine on, let your light come on through
Shine, shine, yeah, oh
[Chorus]
You ain't got to try so hard
To put yourself so high above the world
Don't you hide the truth of who you really are
Just be yourself
My satellite girl
[Chorus]
You ain't got to try so hard
To put yourself so high above the world
Don't you hide the truth of who you really are
Just be yourself
My satellite girl
My satellite
My satellite girl
[Outro]
My satellite girl
My satellite girl
My satellite girl
You don't have to try so hard
