"Satellite" by Amy Campbell
"If this city were a system then she would be the sun.
You don't fall in love with her, you just enter orbit...
And hold on.
I am just a satellite lost floating in the void.
I need your gravity to touch down now.
To touch down now.
To feel the ground beneath my feet.
There'll be water where we land, leafy trees and rocky sand.
But the blue up in the sky won't hold a candle to your eyes.
I would make this world as lovely as your smile.
I know you like a book but I can't read you.
And it's plain to see you're hungry, but it's not my place to feed you.
So I'll spend the day beside you then I'll walk the long road back alone.
Holding on...
There were wild roses at the roadside. They were bending to be near you.
And although I couldn't see your face I swore that I could hear you,
Thinking "goodbye".
"Babe if there's a better way we haven't found it yet."
But I started missing you the day we met.
Reality is cold here out in space, and you long for warming suns, and you love without a face.
And every time you think the road is done, you turn around now and you're moving on.
I get so tired of moving on.
Now I am just a satellite lost floating in the rings,
But to feel your arms around me, honey, that would mean everything.
Would mean you're holding on.
I see you in the distance but I can't reach you.
You're shining like the sun, how could I hope to heat you?
So give me just today love, and just one little piece of your tomorrow.
I'll be holding on...
There were wild roses at the roadside. They were trembling to be near you.
And although I couldn't see your face I swore that I could hear you,
Thinking "goodbye".
"Babe if there's a better way we haven't found it yet."
But I started missing you the day we met.
Sit with me on the beach and watch the stars,
Outer space won't seem so cold from where you are.
So I'll spend the night beside you, then I'll walk the long road back alone.
The city is a system and you're the sun.
And I am just your satellite.
I am just your satellite, so touch down now, touch down now.
I am just your satellite. Holding on.."

Here, I will give an honourable mention to song lyrics, or poetry that sincerely effects me at the time being. Enjoy.
