(Verse 1) I see you standing by the window light Talking like you’re not gonna be mine You smile, but you’re drifting somewhere else Like you’re caught between me and yourself You say you’re here, but your eyes don’t stay Feels like something will take you away I reach for you, you’re already gone Like I’m talking to the stars at dawn (Pre-Chorus) You’re close enough to touch my hand But far enough I don’t understand Every time I pull you near You disappear (Chorus) Your head spinning like a satellite Lost somewhere in the dark sky I love you trhough high and low But you’re reaching places I can’t go You pull me in, then push away Like night and day, you won’t stay I’m standing still, you’re passing through I’m on the earth, I’ve been waiting for you waiting for you waiting for you waiting for you oh oh (Verse 2) You whisper things you never mean Dreams that fade before they’re seen You promise me the world tonight Then vanish with the morning light I don’t know if you’re scared or free If you’re running or just being mean I wait for signs you’ll land somehow But you’re still far away now (Pre-Chorus) You kiss me like you’re almost here Then leave me with pain and fear I fall while you just float away I can’t reach when you’re in space (Chorus) My head spinning like a satellite Lost somewhere in the dark sky I love you trhough high and low But you’re reaching places I can’t go You pull me in, then push away Like night and day, you won’t stay I’m standing still, you’re passing through I’m on the earth, I’ve been waiting for you waiting for you waiting for you waiting for you oh oh (Bridge- Spoken with radio effect) If you ever want to come back down I’ll be right here, no losing ground But I can’t keep loving someone Who’s already gone (Final Chorus) You’re shining like a distant light Beautiful but out of reach tonight I made a wish, I tried to move Even I try I come back to you I let you go, I set you free You don’t belong this close to me I need a love that feels true Not just a dream in view just a dream in view just a dream in view just a dream in view oh oh Your head spinning like a satellite Lost somewhere in the dark sky I love you trhough high and low But you’re reaching places I can’t go You pull me in, then push away Like night and day, you won’t stay I’m standing still, you’re passing through I’m on the earth, I’ve been waiting for you waiting for you
