Cover art for Satellite lyrics by Sara Bareilles

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.
