lyrics: 

saturn hill so far away
to a place that never rains
dream of nights that never fade
your godly face, where beauty reigns

if I go, I'll never stay
late at night, still wide awake

I don't wanna go 
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna grieve if i know you're still alive
launching into space
gone into hyperdrive
i know theres still a place
for only me to hide

saturn hill so far away
I search for piece in outer space
a world of joy beyond the pain
where stardust mends whats been untamed

I don't wanna go, but Im already there
where time surrenders still 
left in infinite despair 
the situation takes
more than who's to blame
the stars they watch in shame
no, i'm not a runaway

only you would never see
sitting here on saturn rings
