Cecilia and the Satellite

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

I locked myself in a hotel room
I 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 seventeen
My mother in the seat right next to me
The things I've learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear

Through 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'll keep you safe; I'll keep you dry
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
And you are the sky

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

Through 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'll keep you safe; I'll keep you dry
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
And you are the sky

I'm the satellite
And we will fly

Through all the things my hands have held
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'll keep you safe; I'll keep you dry
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
And you are the sky

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