Counting Crows - Recovering The Satellites lyrics

Gonna get back to basics Guess I'll start it up again I'm falling from the ceiling You're falling from the sky now and then Maybe you were shot down in pieces Maybe I slipped in between But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see yes 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 gonna come down Your mother recognizes all your desperate displays and she watches as her babies drift violently away 'til they see themselves in telescopes Well listen do you see yourself in me? We're such crazy babies, little monkey God we're so f**ed 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 gonna come down She sees shooting stars and comets tail She's got heaven in her eyes She says I don't need to be an angel but 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
