satellite pt. 3: planets and donuts

from planets and donuts by daytona

/

lyrics

[VERSE 1]

it's a brand new day
though i wouldn't really know
it's been far too long

i have learned so much
space seems different than before
though i could be wrong

i can see the earth
ship is fixed and full of fuel
all because of me

eyes are on the green
like i'm nine years old again
it's a fantasy

can't believe my eyes
i have spent my life forlorn
longing for the past

on my satellite
looking down at cloudy skies
flying blazing fast

i'm the captain now
i did not think i would say
i want something new

i can't land on earth
future's brighter than the past
brighter than i knew

[CHORUS 1]

floating away above the air
planets and donuts will be there
to make you happy when the times aren't right
to show you that there just might be a light (there just might)

[VERSE 2]

i have spent so long
with my first mates by my side
can i say goodbye

will i be okay
i don't think i'll ever know
if i never try

one thing i can do
it's our duty to dispose
of the space debris

have to hold on tight
get shot out at hyperspeed
to my destiny

i have never been
so astonished by the speed
by the universe

twice the speed of light
if i blink, i'll miss the stars
i'll miss life like earth

i get vertigo
when i think too much about
what i get to face

going half this fast
makes me so extremely proud
of the human race

[CHORUS 1]

floating away above the air
planets and donuts will be there
to make you happy when the times aren't right
to show you that there just might be a light (there just might)

[VERSE 3]

i look next to me
and i see a broken piece
of my satellite

my heart skips a beat
even as i undertake
this galactic flight

all i wanted was
for my sputnik to be safe
free of any pain

could not bear to see
what i'd lived on all my life
prematurely slain

when i was a kid
and i first went on the ship
we stored it away

it was safe for years
til a space rock hit the ship
on that fateful day

when i blocked it out
and they realized i forgot
they did not remind

it's so hard to fly
when you're flying from the home
that you left behind

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

[VERSE 4]

i can't think for long
there's a brightness, which is wrong
in this deep, dark void

i can clearly see
it's a wormhole warping space
that i can't avoid

i don't have much time
and i don't have much to grab
but my satellite

til the bitter end
i will cling to what is left
and go through the light

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

[VERSE 5]

i don't know if that
took a hundred million years
or was seconds long

but i know for sure
everything i've known and loved
is completely gone

i just can't explain
all the feelings rushing through
like i rush through space

i can only stare
after opening my eyes
in this foreign place

these are not the stars
that i gazed on back at home
none of this is blank

i think i can breathe
without having to withdraw
from my O2 tank

colors i don't know
shapes i never could define
like i'm in a dream

just keep flying on
through the candy galaxy
watch the soulscape gleam

[CHORUS 1]

floating away above the air
planets and donuts will be there
to make you happy when the times aren't right
to show you that there just might be a light (there just might)

[VERSE 6]

flying into this
solar system full of lights
shining up on me

planet in my view
slowing down and being pulled
by its gravity

gliding through the clouds
i look down in total awe
can't believe my eyes

there are human beings
looking up at me in shock
as i'm flying by

like a meteor
i'm not falling down to earth
but to something else

landing in a lake
i can't possibly describe
what it was i felt

walking slowly through
being tethered to the ground
after being seen

they came up to me
and i somehow even knew
what their language means

[VERSE 7]

they revered me
as a human shooting star
making wishes too

looking in their eyes
all i think is that i could
make their wishes true

it's a brand new world
though i wouldn't really know
it's been far too long

there's so much to learn
it's all different than before
though i could be wrong

[CHORUS 2]

floating away above the air
planets and donuts will be there
to make you happy when the times aren't right
to show you that there just might be a light (there just might)
floating away above the air
planets and donuts will be there
surrounded by so much but so alone
you can't pretend that every star has shone
and don't forget about how far you've flown
and don't forget you're never on your own
