COUNTING CROWS - Recovering The Satellites lyrics

rate me

Gonna get back to basics<br>Guess I'll start it up again<br>I'm falling' from the ceiling<br>You're falling from the sky now and then<br>Maybe you were shot down in pieces<br>Maybe I slipped in between<br>But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see<br>Just you and me<br>So why'd you come home to this sleepless town<br>It's a lifetime commitment<br>Recovering the satellites<br>All anybody really wants to know is...<br>When you gonna come down<br>Your mother recognizes all you're desperate displays<br>And she watches as her babies drift violently away<br>'til they see themselves in telescopes<br>Do you see yourself in me? <br>We're such crazy babies, little monkey<br>We're so fucked up, you and me<br>So why'd you come home to this faithless town<br>Where we make a lifetime commitment<br>To recovering the satellites<br>And all anybody really wants to know is...<br>When are you gonna come down<br>She sees shooting stars and comet tails<br>She's got heaven in her eyes<br>She says I don't need to be an angel<br>But I'm nothing if I'm not this high<br>But we only stay in orbit<br>For a moment of time<br>And then you're everybody's satellite<br>I wish that you were mine<br>So why'd you come home to this angels town<br>It's a lifetime decision<br>Recovering the satellites<br>Everybody really knows for sure...<br>That you're gonna come down<br>That you're gonna come down
