satellites* *

(album: Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible - 2020)

I wish I was a comet
Burning up into the night
I wish I was a comet
But I'm just a satellite

I don't like the limelight
So we don't hold hands in daylight
I still drag the closet
All my limbs, they ache inside
And surely all my family and my friends
My god and my ends
They cannot all be wrong
So I play along:

We refrain from touch
We are satellites
Lalalalalala
In a cosmic dance
Amongst the northern lights
Lalalalalala

And we orbit fast
But I wish we could collide
I'm sick of concealing
I'm sick of the feeling
I no longer want to hide

Cos I think it could be love
(Cos I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight

Cos I think it could be love
(Cos I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight

All the gravity between us
Someone bring me down to land
And write a prayer to Venus
What is life without affection

We refrain from touch
We are satellites
Lalalalalala
In a cosmic dance
Amongst the northern lights
Lalalalalala

And we orbit fast
But I wish we could collide
I'm sick of concealing
I'm sick of the feeling
I no longer want to hide

Cos I think it could be love
(Cos I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight

Now online they discuss
Whether I exist
And in the court they decide
Who I can kiss
Now online they discuss
Whether I exist
And in the court they decide
Who I can kiss

Cos I think it could be love
(Cos I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight

Cos I think it could be love
(Cos I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
