"Satellites" lyrics

Your dog just bit me, but I know he didn't mean it
Why does every good intention tend to need me to believe it?
You called and lit me up, then told me to stay seated,
Always asking me our ending, interrupting to complete it

And cause you tell yourself this story more than half the time
You've got the rest of us in orbit like your satellites
And while I'm churning at a rate that turns the years to light
You aren't watching as I bandage up another bite
And I make such a deal of using words syllabically
So you're too busy sounding out to shuffle after me
There's nothing you like less than knowing someone's past your grip
You put me into space then hate me when I ask for it
You put me into space then hate me when I ask for it

You make a living sweeping floors and speaking softly
All the while your spiral galaxy is rising 'til it's godly
Metamorphosing from a person to a beacon
You are standing diagnosing, I'm just waiting to repeat it

And cause you tell yourself this story more than half the time
You've got the rest of us in orbit like your satellites
And while I'm churning at a rate that turns the years to light
You aren't watching as I topple from a distant height
And I make such a deal of using words syllabically
So you're too busy sounding out to shuffle after me
There's nothing you like less than knowing someone's past your grip
You put me into space then hate me when I ask for it
You put me into space then hate me when I ask for it

Don't bark like its high divining
Don't bite and expect no bruise
Don't start with the diatribing
Then spite all the love you lose
Don't bark at the cosmic timing
Don't bite cause you're not amused
Don't start with the caustic whining
Then spite all the love you lose
Then spite all the love you lose
Then spite all the love you lose
Then spite all the love you lose
Then spite all the love you lose

Your dog just bit me, but I know he didn't mean it
Why does every good intention tend to need me to believe it?
