Satellites Lyrics

[Intro]
Satellites
Flashin' by

[Verse 1]
It's a beautiful state we're in
But how can we love in isolation?

Think how happy we can be when we just try
We're nothing like we seem
Passionate words are never spoken
You don't know how I bleed when I leave your side


[Chorus]
In your eyes, love's alive
You've come untied
'Cause we're flashin' by
Like satellites
Satellites

[Verse 2]
Take all the rules away
How can we live if we don't change?
We're always on display
Let's run and hide


[Chorus]
In our eyes, love's alive
We've come untied
'Cause we're flashin' by
Like satellites
Satellites

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Beyoncé sings about her relationship in which both of them love each other without liabilities but she also worries about being too far away from each other. She is scared that “if they don’t communicate” they will separate. She loves him and he loves her but she needs him more and she doesn’t like it when there is too much space between them.
