Chinese Satellite - Phoebe Bridgers

I’ve been running around in circles

Pretending to be myself

Why would somebody do this on purpose

When they could do something else?

Drowning out the morning birds

With the same three songs over and over

I wish I wrote it, but I didn’t so I learn the words

Hum along til the feeling’s gone forever

Took a tour out to see the stars

But they weren’t out tonight

So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite

I want to believe

Instead I look at the sky and I feel nothing

You know I hate to be alone

Or to be wrong

You were screamin' at the Evangelicals

They were screamin' right back from what I remember

When you said I will never be your vegetable

Because I think when you’re gone it’s forever

But you know I’d stand on the corner

Embarrassed with a picket sign

If it meant I would see you when I die

Sometimes when I can’t sleep

It’s just a matter of time before I’m hearing things

Swore I could feel you through the walls

But that’s impossible

I want to believe that if I go outside

I’ll see your tractor beam

Coming to take me to where I’m from

I want to go home
