Recovering The Satellites
Adam Duritz Lyrics

Gonna get back to basics,
I'm going to simplify things

Guess I'll start it up again,
I think I'll give it another go

I'm fallin' from the ceiling,
I feel like I'm falling apart

You're falling from the sky now and then.
You're also struggling with something

Maybe you were shot down in pieces,
Maybe you've faced some tough challenges and setbacks

Maybe I slipped in between,
Maybe we've both faced tough times

But we were gonna be the wildest, the wildest,
Despite our struggles, we had big plans

The wildest people they ever hoped to see,
We were unique and stood out

Just you and me.
We were in it together

So why'd you come home,
Why did you return to this place?

To this sleepless town,
To this place where it's hard to rest

It's a lifetime commitment,
It's something we're dedicated to for life

Recovering the satellites,
Getting back on track with our goals

All anybody really wants to know is,
Everyone is curious about

When you gonna come down,
When will you get back to reality?

Your mother recognizes, all your desperate displays,
Your mother sees how much you're struggling

And she watches as her babies, drift violently away,
She sees us struggling and pulling away from each other

'Til they see themselves in telescopes,
Until we see ourselves for who we really are

Well listen, do you see yourself in me?
Can you relate to me?

We're such crazy babies, little monkey,
We're both a little wild and unpredictable

God we're so fucked up, you and me.
We really have some issues to work through

So why'd you come home,
Why did you return to this place?

To this faithless town,
To a place where it's hard to have faith

Where we make a lifetime commitment,
Where we're dedicated to something for life

And all anybody really wants to know is,
Everyone is curious about

When are you gonna come down, down, down, down, down, down,
When will you get back to reality?

She, she, she sees shooting stars and comet tails,
She has a vivid imagination

She's got heaven in her eyes,
She has a positive outlook

She says I don't, I don't, I don't need to be an angel,
She doesn't need to be perfect

But I'm nothing, I'm nothing if I'm not this high.
But I need to feel this way to be happy

But we only stay in orbit,
We only feel this way for a short time

For a moment of time,
We only feel this way for a short time

And then you're everybody's satellite,
And then everyone has a piece of you

I wish that you were mine,
I wish we could be together

Wish that you were mine.
I wish we could be together

So why'd you come home,
Why did you return to this place?

To this angel's town,
To a place that seems perfect

Well it's a lifetime's decision,
It's a choice that will impact us for life

Recovering the satellites,
Getting back on track with our goals

All anybody really knows for sure is,
Everyone is certain of one thing

That you're gonna come down,
That eventually, you'll come back to reality

That you're gonna come down.
That eventually, you'll come back to reality
