Lyrics to 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
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
