Satellites

In this universe

Forward needs reverse

Sure, heaven needs some kind of hell

But you said that to truly love somebody

You had to despise someone else

Now I see it plain

Behind me is a chain

Mothers who made their mistakes

I wonder which parts of me

My kids are going to hate

Now some memories look new

The look on your face, as I left you

Pregnant with the start

But heavy with the end

I can almost hear the drawbridge coming up on my independence

I can't be selfish like I wanna be anymore

So while you're filling up on a feast of nothing much

Oh, I can remember the taste

I might as well be on a trip to the moon

Waxing itself at my waist

And maybe you're right, it's cool

But this satellite will change my rules

What if as soon as I can make the time

You're old enough to start to say goodbye

The times when I've been foolish

Are the ones that I remember best

If I could sum it up, I'd only fail

A map of the world at full scale would not cover it

It's easier to hate the one

I was before it all begun

But I could never hate you

I could never hate you

I could never hate you

'Cause you did what you wanted to do

I could never hate you

I could never hate you

I could never hate you

'Cause you did what you wanted to do
