[Verse 1]
Darkening skies, coming this way
Falling behind, into nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
But if you lead, I will follow
A thousand miles away
I will be your Apollo
Alone in outer space
[Chorus]
Satellite, shine on me tonight
I will be your gravity
I will stay and never leave
My satellite, are you here tonight?
Shine your light and set me free
Take the darkness out of me
Shine on me
Shine on me
[Verse 2]
Blinded I wait, the end is forming
You are my fate, give me warning
[Pre-Chorus]
If you lead, I will follow
A thousand miles away
I will be your Apollo
Alone in ou—
[Chorus]
Satellite, shine on me tonight
I will be your gravity
I will stay and never leave
My satellite, are you here tonight?
Shine your light and set me free
Take the darkness out of me
Shine on me
Shine on me
[Bridge]
Far across the emptiness I walk the night
And search the silence in the dark you left behind
I seek the stars above the worlds to be the guides
But they all pale against the light in your eyes
In your eyes
And I won't suppose to know why you walked away
But I can feel you pushing through beyond the space
So send your energy to me and I'll push through
Send your signal home and bring me back to you
[Chorus]
Satellite, shine on me tonight
I will be your gravity
I will stay and never leave
My satellite, are you here tonight?
Shine your light and set me free
Take the darkness out of me
Shine on me
Shine on me
