About Satellite

"Satellite" is a song recorded by Canadian rock group Nickelback for their eighth studio album, No Fixed Address (2014). A pop rock "power ballad" about an all-encompassing love, the song was written by group members Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake with Josh Ramsay and David Hodges. Nickelback co-produced the track with Chris Baseford. "Satellite" was released March 23, 2015 as the album's sixth single and serves as the second pop single in continental Europe. The song was later serviced to hot adult contemporary radio stations in the United States on May 11, 2015 as the album's third pop single in North America. An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Nigel Dick, serves as the second half of a two-part story started in the video for "Get 'Em Up". Music critics were divided on their opinion of "Satellite", with some praising the ballad form and others labelling the song as "cliché." The song only charted in Canada, where it peaked outside the top 40 on the national adult contemporary chart.

I miss you
So, so, I do
I miss you
So, so, I do
I miss you
So

I just woke up from a dream today
Time gone by but you still look the same
Felt so real to have you back with me
It's just too bad it's just another dream
Give me just one wish

If I could give it all away
I'd do it just for one more day
I thought I had the time to wait
Now it's too late to tell you
That I

I miss you so, so, I do
I miss you
(I miss you, so, so, I do) so, so, I do
I miss you
So, so, I do
(I miss you) God knows I do
I miss you so, so, I do
(I miss you)I miss you so much
I miss you so, so, I do
I miss you so, so, I do

After dark, laughin' in the rain
Silver heart locket on a chain
Well pictures fade and silver turns to grey
But the best of thieves couldn't take my love away
Give me just one wish

If I could give it all away
I'd do it just for one more day
Trade it in for one more moment
Tell you what I never told ya
All the things I left unsaid
I meant to say before you left
I thought I had the time to wait
Now it's too late to tell you

I miss you so, so, I do
I miss you
I miss you so much
I miss you so, so, I do
(I miss you) God knows I do
I miss you so, so, I do
(I miss you)I miss you so much
I miss you so, so, I do
I miss you so, so, I do

If there was some way, you know I would
I'd do it today, I wish I could
I call out your name, it does no good
I wish I knew what would

I, I miss you so much
God knows I do, I
I wish my wish was enough
Give me just one wish

If I could give it all away
I'd do it just for one more day
Trade it in for one more moment
Tell you what I never told ya
All the things I left unsaid
I meant to say before you left
I thought I had the time to wait
Now it's too late to tell you

I miss you so, so, I do
I miss you
I miss you so much
I miss you so, so, I do
(I miss you) God knows I do
I miss you so, so, I do
(I miss you)I miss you so much
I miss you so, so, I do
I miss you so
