What You Need
Satellite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me a chance to break the silence
Give me a chance to recognize

That if there's a way, we're gonna find it
And we're gonna make it out alive
Cause you'd give me back
More then all I had if you needed, you needed
Another chance to make it right

Is this really what you wanted
Is this really what you need

Time is an earth that's slowly turning
And these are our moments growing cold
So give us truth before it blinds us
Cause there's not a chance I'm letting go

Is this really what you wanted
Is this really what you need
Is this everything you dreamed it to be

Give me peace of mind to wait
Or tell me how to find my way back
Back to you

All I am is dust and faith
Holding on to find my way back
Back to you

Is this really what you wanted
Is this really what you need
Is this everything you dreamed it to be

Give me peace of mind to wait
Or tell me how to find my way




Give me truth at any cost
Give me more than what was lost

I went everywhere for you
I even did my hair for you
I bought new underwear, they're blue
And I wore 'em just the other day
Love, you know I'll fight for you
I left on the porch light for you
Whether you are sweet or cruel
I'm gonna love you either way
Love, oh love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I
Can't go a minute without your love
Like a satellite
I'm in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can't go a minute without your love
Love, I got it bad for you
I saved the best I have for you
You sometimes make me sad and blue
Wouldn't have it any other way
Love, my aim is straight and true
Cupid's arrow is just for you
I even painted my toenails for you
I did it just the other day
Love, oh love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I
Can't go a minute without your love
Like a satellite
I'm in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can't go a minute without your
Love, oh love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I
Can't go a minute without your love
Where you go, I'll follow
You set the pace, we'll take it fast or slow
I'll follow in your way
Oh oh oh
You got me, you got me
A force more powerful than gravity
It's physics, there's no escape
Love, my aim is straight and true
Cupid's arrow is just for you
I even painted my toenails for you
I did it just the other day
Love, oh love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I
Can't go a minute without your love
Like a satellite
I'm in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can't go a minute without your
Love, oh love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I
Can't go a minute without your love
Love, love, love
Love
Love
Love

Germans in 2010: "Europe hates us, no one will vote for us, we'll never win" Lena: "Halte mein bier"

@sirescanor3936

Never use google translate for German translations it’s terrible

@richbitch836

SIR ESCANOR Warum? Ist doch richtig. An „Halte mein Bier“ ist nichts falsch. Man kann es vielleicht auch anders formulieren, aber es ist nicht falsch.

@richbitch836

McGunther Das kannst du nicht wissen. Oder kennst du jede einzelne deutschsprachige Person im Universum? Wie man es sagt ist doch völlig egal, aber Fakt ist, dass es nicht falsch ist. Jeder kann es doch so ausdrücken wie er möchte...🙂

@richbitch836

ZER0 Wie du meinst...🤷🏻‍♂️

@that1niceguy246

Please don't use Google translate for stuff like this. You understand the meaning but for god's sake don't even think about saying that to any native speaker, Hold my beer is a phrase that we don't use for that.
Here is a better and just as understandable way:
... Lena: with the rhythm of Uptown Funk "Stop, wait a minute"
