[Verse 1]
I'm surrounded by stars, they don't hear me wishin'
It's funny how a crowded room can feel so damn alone
They can't hear my mind, maybe they're just not listening
So I remind myself I'm better off on my own
been standing on the edge for way too long
Just waiting for the place that I belong
[chorus]
I'm a satellite
I'm a satellite
I'm on the outside, lookin' in
They don't know just where I've been
I'm a satellite unless you let me in
[Verse 2]
These indigo nights, it's the life that I've been living
but when the sun comes up, that's when the shadows go
They think they got it all, they don't know what they're missing
I got so much to give, but I'm keeping it close
[Pre-chorus]
These days are small, but the night moves way too fast
Need to know you want me here before I ask
[chorus]
I'm a satellite
I'm a satellite
I'm on the outside, lookin' in
They don't know just where I've been
I'm a satellite unless you let me in
[bridge]
guess I gotta be content with
playing in the darkness
a lovely place to hide
Oh,
but hide and seek is only fun if,
if somebody's looking
and nobody's got the time
[Pre-chorus]
Oh, maybe I'm too quick to pass the blame
Maybe I should ask someone to play
[chorus]
I'm a satellite
I'm a satellite
I'm on the outside, lookin' in
They don't know just where I've been
I'm a satellite
I'm a satellite
I'm a satellite
I can make it on my own, the fallen star of a one-man show
I'm a satellite
[Outro]
Satellite
I'm a satellite
I'm on the outside looking in, want you to know just where I've been
don't wanna be a satellite
So, please let me in
