Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Missed the last train home from Euston
Phone dead, still I follow the glow
Taxi man say, "Where you heading?"
I seh, "Anywhere the good waves flow"
Lil' cold breeze through the window
Still sweat from the club on my skin
Air freshener smell and the streetlights dim
But inside, I feel new again

[Chorus]
I’m a backroad satellite
Buzzin’ through the city, feelin’ too alive (too alive)
Signal strong when I’m next to you
Girl, you light me up, change me point of view
I’m a backroad satellite
Spinnin’ through the dark ’til we touch the sky (touch the sky)
All the tings I thought I knew
Fade away now it’s only you (only you)

[Verse 2]
Bitta slang in the late-night chatter
You laugh, say I talk too fast
You seh, “Calm down, we’ve got all night”
I seh, “Yeh, but the stars might pass”
Mini mart stop for a drink and crisps
Chat deep ’bout faith and fear
Sittin’ on the bonnet in the car park mist
Your hand trace circles, pull me near (come closer)

[Pre-Chorus]
Who woulda taught I find peace in the chaos
Heart beatin’ double like the snare when it take off
You seh, “Lean back, let the world just play off”
And every bad memory fade soft

[Chorus]
I’m a backroad satellite
Buzzin’ through the city, feelin’ too alive (too alive)
Signal strong when I’m next to you
Girl, you light me up, change me point of view
I’m a backroad satellite
Spinnin’ through the dark ’til we touch the sky (touch the sky)
All the tings I thought I knew
Fade away now it’s only you (only you)

[Bridge]
Yeh, we stray from the main road
Old estate, high blocks, raincoat
You seh, “Love, pick a window, any window”
Make a wish for the days we ain’t in limbo
From Kings’ Cross down to Kilburn
From Brixton right back Docklands
Every lil’ turn is a memory burn
Every wrong road make right plans (right now)

[Chorus]
I’m a backroad satellite
Buzzin’ through the city, feelin’ too alive (too alive)
Signal strong when I’m next to you
Girl, you light me up, change me point of view
I’m a backroad satellite
Spinnin’ through the dark ’til we touch the sky (touch the sky)
All the tings I thought I knew
Fade away now it’s only you (only you)
