Satellite Lyrics
Baby’s got a look in his eyes like he’s headed somewhere
He’s got a map of New York Island
I wasn’t supposed to find
That didn’t used to be there
He doesn’t bother buying things for the house
Somehow he’s already moved.
He’s just a man who wants the world on his shoes,
But didn’t want you.
Until he’s out of sight,
Satellite,
I feel him fading out
He’s never gonna change
It’s just round and round,
Can’t hold him down
God knows I’ve tried but for now
I’ll have to say goodbye, satellite.
Caught myself memorizing words on a page just cause he’d written them there.
Somehow that scrap of paper had created a cage
And I would wait for him there.
I broke my spirit and song to leave the light on and finally found me the truth
That holding on when someone’s going, going, gone just leaves you hands you can’t use.
Until he’s out of sight,
Satellite,
I feel him fading out
He’s never gonna change
It’s just round and round,
Can’t hold him down
God knows I’ve tried but for now
I’ll have to say goodbye, satellite.
No need to say it,
You’re already gone.
So I’ll watch from here baby
You can keep on moving on…
Out of sight, satellite
I feel him fading out
He's never gonna change
(Out of sight, satellite)
I feel him fading out again.
He's just fading out again.
He’s got a map of New York Island
I wasn’t supposed to find
That didn’t used to be there
He doesn’t bother buying things for the house
Somehow he’s already moved.
He’s just a man who wants the world on his shoes,
But didn’t want you.
Satellite,
I feel him fading out
He’s never gonna change
It’s just round and round,
Can’t hold him down
God knows I’ve tried but for now
I’ll have to say goodbye, satellite.
Somehow that scrap of paper had created a cage
And I would wait for him there.
I broke my spirit and song to leave the light on and finally found me the truth
That holding on when someone’s going, going, gone just leaves you hands you can’t use.
Satellite,
I feel him fading out
He’s never gonna change
It’s just round and round,
Can’t hold him down
God knows I’ve tried but for now
I’ll have to say goodbye, satellite.
You’re already gone.
So I’ll watch from here baby
You can keep on moving on…
I feel him fading out
He's never gonna change
(Out of sight, satellite)
He's just fading out again.

Simply said, this song is about a girl who's in love with someone who's a free spirit. He can't be held down because he's always on the move. He wants to see the world, but she can't go with him. She feels stuck waiting for him to come back even though she knows that holding on is useless because every time she feels him coming back, he's nowhere to be found.
Ugh, ugh, UGH! Somebody changed these lyrics. These are NOT the correct lyrics to "Satellite." They are the correct lyrics to Sara's released song "Satellite Call," but not her unreleased song, "Satellite." They used to be here. Ugh!
