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
