Lyrics Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

Cecilia and the Satellite

I locked myself in a hotel room

I waited all night for the walls to move

I loved some girls that I barely knew

I've made some friends and I've lost some too

Crashed my car; I was seventeen

My mother in the seat right next to me

The things I've learned from a broken mirror

How a face can change when a heart knows fear

Through all the things my eyes have seen

The best by far is you

If I could fly

Then I would know

What life looks like from up above and down below

I'll keep you safe; I'll keep you dry

Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite

And you are the sky

I've cafe crawled through Amsterdam

Been around the world with a punk-rock band

And I've seen London, and I've played Japan

I've been knocked down, I got up again

Through all the places I have been

I'm no place without you

If I could fly

Then I would know

What life looks like from up above and down below

I'll keep you safe; I'll keep you dry

Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite

And you are the sky

I'm the satellite

And we will fly

Through all the things my hands have held

The best by far is you

If I could fly

Then I would know

What life looks like from up above and down below

I'll keep you safe; I'll keep you dry

Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite

And you are the sky

And you're the sky

I'm the satellite

And you're the sky

And you're the sky
