Counting Crows — Recovering the Satellites

[Verse 1] Gonna get back to basics Guess I'll start it up again I'm falling from the ceiling You're falling from the sky now and then [Verse 2] Maybe you were shot down in pieces Maybe I slipped in between But we we're gonna be the wildest, the wildest The wildest people they ever hoped to see, just you and me [Chorus] So why'd you come home to this sleepless town? It's a lifetime commitment Recovering the satellites All anybody really wants to know is When you're gonna come down When you gonna come down [Verse 3] Your mother recognizes all your desperate displays And she watches as her babies drift violently away 'Til they see themselves in telescopes Do you see yourself in me? We're such crazy babies, little monkey God, we're so fucked up, you and me [Chorus] So why'd you come home to this faithless town? Where we make a lifetime commitment to recovering the satellites And all anybody really wants to know is When are you gonna come down, down, down, down, down When you gonna come down? [Verse 4] She sees shooting stars and comet tails She's got heaven in her eyes She says, "I don't, I don't, I don't need to be an angel But I'm nothing, I'm nothing if I'm not this high" [Verse 5] But we only stay in orbit for a moment of time And then you're everybody's satellite I wish that you were mine, I wish that you were mine [Chorus] So why'd you come home to this angel's town? It's a lifetime decision Recovering the satellites All everybody really knows for sure Is you're gonna come down That you're gonna come down
