I lock myself in a hotel room Been waiting all night for the walls to move I've 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 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'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 cafe 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 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 And you're the sky I'm the satellite And you're the sky And you're the sky
