Satellites Lyrics - + - - Mew

Swimming fast 

Hone in on the buzz in ways you could not 

I like you real silver-like 

Oh see them fast, take off at last 

And we get better 

I wanna breathe in a sunlight beam 

I wanna be with a girl like she 

I'm swimming fast (swimming fast enough) 

Hone in on the buzz in ways you could not 

Know my own electricity 

You did this to me 

I want someone to carry me 

Oh Ill-advised, your desire 

Tulip bell 

And I'd rather be a satellite 

And I'm picking up the phone 

Remember when? 

It was then we sealed to unlock never again 

The way we might on movie night 

Suspend disbelief 

And this is much better 

I can see you crying 

None of these remedies, I feel 

Could make things matter that much 

It's only right on movie night 

Solemn summer 

And I'd rather be a satellite 

And I'm picking up the phone 

Picking up the phone 

(stay up, satellite) 

(You were always shy) 

Eleven past (eleven past of us) 

I love all the things that are wrong with you 

Know my own electricity 

You did this to me 

I like you real silver-like 

Oh see them fast, take off at last 

And we get better 

And I'd rather be a satellite 

And I'm picking up the phone 

(and the sun would shine) 

(stay up satellite) 

Picking up the phone 

My life is my own 

And now I'm always home 

That's where I spend my time 

What, you think I'm up all night? 

That's where I spend all my time 

What, you think I'm up all night?
