Satellite Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Satellite
I see you swimmin' through this open sky
I rest my head upon these dandelions
The stars are envious of you tonight
Broken dreams
I'm writin' poems of our memories, yeah
Wish I could hold you through computer screens
But all the static keeps us in between, yeah

[Chorus]
La-da-da, we're walkin' on a line
The line that leads me straight, straight, straight to you
You're like a satellite crossin' through my mind
It always leads me straight, straight, straight to you

[Verse 2]
Saw the news
Oh, what a sight, it left me so confused
They're tellin' storiеs that you're leavin' soon
They'll nеver know what you've been goin' through
Yeah, shootin' star, uh
I watch you drift away into the dark
Sometimes, I sit and wonder where you are
Sendin' me signals to my—
Sendin' me signals to my hollow heart
[Chorus]
La-da-da, we're walkin' on a line
The line that leads me straight, straight, straight to you
You're like a satellite crossin' through my mind
It always leads me straight, straight, straight to you
La-da-da, we're walkin' on a line
The line that leads me straight, straight, straight to you (Straight, straight, straight to you)
You're like a satellite crossin' through my mind
It always leads me straight, straight, straight to you

[Bridge]
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite

[Chorus]
La-da-da, walkin' on a line
The line that leads me straight, straight, straight to you
You're like a satellite crossin' through my mind
Straight, straight to you
La-da-da, we're walkin' on a line
The line that leads me straight, straight, straight to you (Straight)
You're like a satellite crossin' through my mind
It always leads me straight, straight, straight to you
La-da-da, we're walkin' on a line (Walkin' on a line)
The line that leads me straight, straight, straight to you (Like a satellite)
You're like a satellite crossin' through my mind
It always leads me straight, straight, straight to you (It leads me straight to you)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
