Recovering The Satellites Lyrics

Counting Crows

Gonna get back to basics Guess I'll start it up again I'm falling' from the ceilin' You're falling from the sky now and then
Maybe you were shot down in pieces Maybe I slipped in between But we we're gonna be the wildest, the wildest The wildest people they ever hoped to see, just you and me
So why'd you come home to this sleepless town It's a lifetime commitment recovering the satellites All anybody really wants to know is When you're gonna come down, when you're gonna come down
Your mother recognizes all you're desperate displays And she watches as her babies drift violently away 'Til they see themselves in telescopes Do you see yourself in me? We're such crazy babies, little monkey God, we're so fucked up, you and me
So why'd you come home to this faithless town Where we make a lifetime commitment To recovering the satellites And all anybody really wants to know is When are you're gonna come down, down, down, down, down When you're gonna come down
She sees shooting stars and comet tails She's got heaven in her eyes She says, "I don't, I don't, I don't need to be an angel But I'm nothing, I'm nothing if I'm not this high"
But we only stay in orbit for a moment of time And then you're everybody's satellite I wish that you were mine, I wish that you were mine
So why'd you come home to this angels town It's a lifetime decision recovering the satellites Everybody really knows for sure That you're gonna come down, that you're gonna come down
