I think this song is written from Bella's perspective just after Edward has left her she feels 'lost in the dark, i'm spun out so far'. It talks about what Bella's imagining Edward doing and where he is 'i hear your living out of state, running in a whole new scene'. It's also as if Bella's wanting to tell him things 'you know i haven't slept in weeks, your the only thing i see'. I dont quiet understand the satelite heart. Maybe its like Bella's heart is completely out of this world and no one would be able to be on the same level as her when it comes to heart break?! Love the song.

That's the sad part of the metaphor, that she (or her heart) is a satellite, circling helplessly, caught in the gravity of someone or something else. And worse, she's unable to pull away, doomed to circle forever, or until something...

except it wasn't written for new moon...it was already done before new moon picked it up. It works for new moon, too, but it has more than the quality of a book written for frothing-at-the-mouth teenage girls...

I think it could also be about a girl who has a boyfriend whose life moves too fast for her to catch up with. Perhaps he lives in his job, or goes clubbing, or has an affair, or gambles constantly. Yet she remains loyal to him, and he's her whole world, even though she knows she deserves more. Just a thought This song matches...
