Lyrics

You said our love like a satellite
Close enough to see your face
Far enough to disappear
As soon as you asked me to stay
I got real good at leaving
Before anybody leaves me first
I can turn a good thing quiet
Before it starts to hurt
You'll be standing in the kitchen
Asking where my head was at
I'll be staring through the window
Making space I couldn't take back
I kept calling it protection
You kept calling it a wall
I kept saying give me patience
You said I gave nothing at all
I love you like a satellite
Always circling the truth
Never landing where you need it
Never giving all of me to you
I love you like a satellite
Bright enough to keep in view
Cold enough to keep my distance
Even when I wanted you
You left your toothbrush by the mirror
Like a dare I never took
I loved the way you looked there
Still couldn't call this home
Every time you said be honest
I would dress the lie up nice
Say I'm tired, say I'm working
Say I just need one more night
You were not asking for forever
You were not asking for a ring
You just wanted me beside you
Without planning my retreat
I kept calling it bad timing
You kept calling it my choice
I kept hiding in the silence
You kept begging for my voice
I love you like a satellite
Always circling the truth
Never landing where you need it
Never giving all of me to you
I love you like a satellite
Bright enough to keep in view
Cold enough to keep my distance
Even when I wanted you
Now I'm out here with the signal gun
No coordinates, no control
You were ground beneath my body
I was too afraid to know
Maybe love was not the problem
Maybe I was scared to land
Maybe you were never asking for more than both my hands
I love you like a satellite
And I hate that it was true
I could see you getting smaller
Still I kept my same excuse
I loved you like a satellite
Now I'm burning through the blue
All this space I thought I wanted
Only brings me back to you
If I fall now
Would you hear it?
If I call now
Would you feel it?
