Broken Satellites
It's been too long
Can't escape from this town
Why'd they build it up
Just to burn it all down
And the history books
Never mentioned your family name
From your elegant spires
To the factory walls
And the brimstone kids
In the tenement halls
Did I see you cry
As you stood by the cemetery gates
I couldn't tell you
Take my hand
Don't think it over
Time's running out
Just getting older
Give me a sign
And we'll be out of sight
Oh Oh
Like broken satellites
I was chasing pennies
Through the pavement cracks
In that endless summer
But it won't come back
To the distant thunder
As we waited for the rain
Then we crossed the bridge
But the river was dry
And I broke the glass
Of the dandelion wine
And I wrote your name
In the concrete barricades
Just want to tell you
Take my hand
Don't think it over
Time's running out
Just getting older
Give me a sign
And we'll be out of sight
Oh Oh
Like broken satellites
Just watching all those years rolling by
Goodbye
We're just doing what we can to survive tonight
That's right
Could I meet you there
By the railway track
In our endless summer
But it won't come back
Now I can't rewind
So I guess it's all the same
I should have told you
Take my hand
Don't think it over
Time's running out
Just getting older
Give me a sign
And we'll be out of sight
Oh Oh
Like broken satellites
Take my hand
Don't think it over
Time's running out
Just getting older
Give me a sign
And we'll be out of sight
Oh Oh
Like broken satellites
Oh Oh
We're broken satellites
Can't escape from this town
Why'd they build it up
Just to burn it all down
And the history books
Never mentioned your family name
From your elegant spires
To the factory walls
And the brimstone kids
In the tenement halls
Did I see you cry
As you stood by the cemetery gates
I couldn't tell you
Take my hand
Don't think it over
Time's running out
Just getting older
Give me a sign
And we'll be out of sight
Oh Oh
Like broken satellites
I was chasing pennies
Through the pavement cracks
In that endless summer
But it won't come back
To the distant thunder
As we waited for the rain
Then we crossed the bridge
But the river was dry
And I broke the glass
Of the dandelion wine
And I wrote your name
In the concrete barricades
Just want to tell you
Take my hand
Don't think it over
Time's running out
Just getting older
Give me a sign
And we'll be out of sight
Oh Oh
Like broken satellites
Just watching all those years rolling by
Goodbye
We're just doing what we can to survive tonight
That's right
Could I meet you there
By the railway track
In our endless summer
But it won't come back
Now I can't rewind
So I guess it's all the same
I should have told you
Take my hand
Don't think it over
Time's running out
Just getting older
Give me a sign
And we'll be out of sight
Oh Oh
Like broken satellites
Take my hand
Don't think it over
Time's running out
Just getting older
Give me a sign
And we'll be out of sight
Oh Oh
Like broken satellites
Oh Oh
We're broken satellites
