It's been too long Can't escape from this town Why'd they build it up Just to burn it all down And the history books Never mentioned your family name From your elegant spires To the factory walls And the brimstone kids In the tenement halls Did I see you cry As you stood by the cemetery gates I couldn't tell you Take my hand Don't think it over Time's running out Just getting older Give me a sign And we'll be out of sight Oh Oh Like broken satellites I was chasing pennies Through the pavement cracks In that endless summer But it won't come back To the distant thunder As we waited for the rain Then we crossed the bridge But the river was dry And I broke the glass Of the dandelion wine And I wrote your name In the concrete barricades Just want to tell you Take my hand Don't think it over Time's running out Just getting older Give me a sign And we'll be out of sight Oh Oh Like broken satellites Just watching all those years rolling by Goodbye We're just doing what we can to survive tonight That's right Could I meet you there By the railway track In our endless summer But it won't come back Now I can't rewind So I guess it's all the same I should have told you Take my hand Don't think it over Time's running out Just getting older Give me a sign And we'll be out of sight Oh Oh Like broken satellites Take my hand Don't think it over Time's running out Just getting older Give me a sign And we'll be out of sight Oh Oh Like broken satellites Oh Oh We're broken satellites
