You Can Get It

I've been writing music most of my life. Songs have always been the place where I've sorted out the events of day. If you trace these songs back far enough they tell a story of where I've been and what I've seen along the way. That said, most people don't have the time to sort through the hundreds of songs that have collected in the wake of my 20 plus years behind a piano, and that's why I love "Cecilia and the Satellite". As a song it encapsulate so much living against the back drop of a new life. Cecilia was written with the knowledge that my wife and I would soon meet our first child. With the hope of avoiding territory this type of song often treads, I tried to create a road map of the life I had lived leading up to that moment. One my daughter might look back on some day. A strange life of constant motion, spent traveling in the pursuit of music. A life I’ve nearly lost on more than one occasion and one which I am thankful for, now more than ever. Deep down this song is about more than me and where I’ve been, it’s about more than my daughter and what I want for her. It’s about being proud of where you come from and wanting the most for the people you share your world with.

LYRICS
I’ve locked myself in a hotel room
Then waited all night for the walls to move
I've loved some girls that I barely knew
I’ve made some friends, and I’ve lost some too
 
Crashed my car, I was seventeen
My mother in the seat riding next to me
The things I’ve learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear
 
For all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
 
I've café crawled through Amsterdam
Been around the world with a punk rock band
And I’ve seen London, and I’ve played Japan
I’ve been knocked down, I got up again
 
For all the places I have been, I’m no place without you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky

I’m hearing voices in my head now 
I need a pick me up I’m feeling down
And my life is getting so loud
Somebody tell me how to stop the sound 
I need a pick me up I’m feeling down 
I’m asking god for a hand out 
He told me “fall down on your knees child”
I’m hearing voices in my head 
(Voices in my)

Laying on her back 
Skin crawling up the walls 
One eye on the ceiling 
One eye in the floor 
Only one night 
You ain’t really got the time for
Living a life that 
People would die for 
She said “I’m gonna take my time
Live my life I’m gonna make this mine
I’m gonna trust my mind 
I’m gonna bust this line”
Only one night yeah 
She left her life in a bag on the nightstand 

I’m hearing voices in my head now 
I need a pick me up I’m feeling down
And my life is getting so loud
Somebody tell me how to stop the sound 
I need a pick me up I’m feeling down 
I’m asking god for a hand out 
He told me “fall down on your knees child”
I’m hearing voices in my head 
Voices in my head

Found you in the back of the room
By the corner one eye on the party 
One eye on the door
Left you all alone with your mind too crowded 
Voices in your head stopped talking started shouting 
She said “I have finally come to terms with my shit
I like to keep myself on this island
Don’t see no sun and don’t let no tide in 
I can’t stop feeling like 
I’m dying alone with this mindset 
Don’t wanna watch the flock til my time’s spent 
Seeing through their eyes so I don’t get mine wet 
I just want silence but I’m hearing”

I’m hearing voices in my head now 
I need a pick me up I’m feeling down
And my life is getting so loud
Somebody tell me how to stop the sound 
I need a pick me up I’m feeling down 
I’m asking god for a hand out 
He told me “fall down on your knees, child”
I’m hearing voices in my head 
Voices in my head
