lyrics

Spending time with you is what. fills my life, I’ve got the lot
Take a moment to reflect and the bad things we reject
All the good things that we’ve held on to
A trip downstream safe into port, Where any doubts dissolve to nought
We’ll take our dreams and make them all come true

We’ve both had good times in days gone by
Planets misaligned although we’d tried
Gravity that we’ve escaped, into new orbit, new lives shaped
Satellites that circle, bring the tides
Wash away sandcastles built, we’ll build our own on rock not silt
We’ll take our dreams and make them all come true

In past times it wasn’t right, now the planets have aligned, I’m your satellite
Orbit a world where lovers grow, Eclipsing everything we’ve ever known
Discovering new worlds that we now own

Take a moment to reflect, and the bad things we reject
All the good things that we’ve held onto
Gravity that we escaped, Into new orbit, new lives shaped
Satellites that circle bring the tides, wash away sandcastles built
We’ll build our own on rock not silt, we’ll take our dreams and make them all come true, My dreams fulfilled as long as I’m with you
