    LYRICS:
    Of all the things you might.
    Still want to satellite.
    You took the star that you know won't shine as bright.
    We're falling from the sky.
    And the look in your eye,
    Is telling me that you won't be home tonight.
    No, you won't be home tonight.
    Hands on the water,
    I find, that I could run away before you realize.
    And where the border, divides
    I see the darkness that is haloed in your eyes.
    Of all the things you hide,
    I hear in each reply:
    "You'll never stand up against the rising tide."
    The blue and red collide.
    And the look in your eye.
    Is telling me that the dawn won't end the night.
    No, the dawn won't end the night.
    Oh lord,
    Do you hear us calling out?
    Hands on the water, I find.
    That's it's impossible to make you change your mind.
    And where the border divides,
    I see the darkness that is haloed in your eyes.
    Oh lord (Where are you now?)
    Do you see us breaking down?
    Oh lord (Oh where are you now?)
    Do you hear us calling out?
    Hands on the water, I find.
    That's it's impossible to make you change your mind.
    And where the border divides,
    I see the darkness that is haloed in your eyes.
    Dan Avidan (Vocals)
    Peter Lennox (Guitars and Keyboards)

      He has said before that I is really hard for him because Peter broke the band up before Danny thought they were ready. He more or less broke his heart. He spoke about it in the Game Grumps interviews. If he wants to, he will.

I'm glad he mentioned it, because if I had found it on my own, I wouldve fallen in love equally as fast :)

    When I first heard this song, it was late at night during June of 2014, I was nervous thinking his was gonna be bad since it was during 2007. When I heard this I was feeling so many different feelings, I was basically intoxicated with dopamine, it gave me chills, goosebumps, tears, it was amazing and I bought the album and listened to it over 200 times in three months. After that I sadly stopped listening to it for a year and got back into it, I don't listen to it as much as I used to since I started listening to much more music, but I'm glad I found this when basically no one would knew about this. The experience I had with this album was the most amazing experience I had in my entire life of listening to music.

    I love the album, this song in particular. Firefly is great as well - so pumped to see Skyhill is active again after 8 years!

    Would Dan and the rest of the guys at Skyhill be alright with covers of this song? I've always wanted to do a more guitar driven rock rendition of this masterpiece.

      I doubt they would mind considering danny has released 2 cover albums in recent times
