Cecilia and the Satellite Songtext
von Andrew McMahon

I locked myself in a hotel room
Then waited all night for the walls to move
I 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 riding next to me
The things I′ve learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear

For all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you
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


I′ve café crawled through Amsterdam
I've 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

For all the places I have been, I'm no place without you
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

I'm the satellite
And you′re the sky

For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you
If I could fly (if I could fly), then I would know (then I would know)
What life looks like from up above and down below
I'd keep you safe (I′d keep you safe), I'd keep you dry (I'd keep you dry)
Don′t be afraid, Cecilia, I′m the satellite
And you're the sky


And you′re the sky
I'm the satellite
And you′re the sky
And you're the sky
