Soon after the release of their 2014 album They Want My Soul, Spoon surprisingly debuted this brand new song at a concert in Houston.

[Verse 1]
I'll be your satellite
Out here on my own
I know where you draw the line
I know what you draw it for
We used to walk that line
I know what you draw it for
[Chorus]

I know I love you more
I know I love you more
[Verse 2]
I'll be your satellite
No one can come close
And I know where you draw the line

And things got cruel, you know I know it
But we done damage all along
You got angels above you
I know I love you more
I know I love you more
I know I love you more
I know I love you more
[Instrumental Bridge & Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Oh, my heavy star
Up there on your own
When you're feeling haunted
I'm your satellite
When it all comes crashing down
I'll come and make it right
Cause nothing's gonna break you
No one's gonna bring you down
Nothing's gonna shake you while
I'm your satellite
I'm your satellite
