Song Lyrics

All those old basements and tenements I've been through
In every bedroom I grit my teeth and smiled my way into
All the halls I ran down a blatant imposter
And every sofa where I begged you call the doctor
Well I was searching
Yes I was searching

For an abstract distant view
Satellite I'd never be near to
Oh listen
You eclipse them
Through a backwards misspent youth
I was always reaching for you
Oh listen
You eclipse them

Daydreams pass nightshifts and I'm wheezing like the trains
I get so distracted when someone shares your name
Are the places I'm invited really where I should be?
And are you just excited the first ten times you meet me?
Well I was searching
Yes I was searching

For an abstract distant view
Satellite I'd never be near to
Oh listen
You eclipse them
Through a backwards misspent youth
I was always reaching for you
Oh listen
You eclipse them

You abstract distant view
I was always reaching for you
Oh listen
You eclipse them
My charmed heart beats anew
In our orbit, I adore you
Oh listen
You eclipse them
