Satellite Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

Worked out that I probably made a mistake 

For each thing I've done right 

Just keeping it even at times 

Seems to take every ounce of my might 

I might've found gold instead of dust 

I might've found someone to hold in trust 

I may seem hard in harder times 

Even though my colors are fading I stay in the lines 

I can't be the sun 'cause I'd burn 

As sure as I leave, I will return 

The moon is too big and too bright 

I can't shine like stars but 

I'll be a satellite

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I'm ready, I'm ready, I've already torn 

All my pieces apart 

Be steady, be steady instead of my usual 

Fits and starts 

My heart has been worn but it ain't broke 

It may hiccough and cough black smoke 

It may seem old, but it still runs 

Yeah my love's got laces that won't come undone 

I can't be the sun 'cause I'd burn 

As sure as I leave, I will return 

The moon is too big and too bright 

I can't shine like stars but 

I'll be a satellite 

Your satellite 

Your satellite 

Your satellite

Jupiter's too heavy to hold 

And Mars is too cold, and Venus too hot 

I'd try for Saturn's beautiful rings 

I am none of these things 

And I'm glad that I'm not 

'Cause you'd expect a lot 

I can't be the sun 'cause I'd burn 

As sure as I leave, I will return 

The moon is too big and too bright 

I can't shine like stars but 

I'll be a satellite 

Your satellite 

Your satellite 

Your satellite 

I'll be your satellite
