Comets lyrics

Am I a terrible lie, just a southern mess?

Am I the signature you’ll forge on the birthday cards that I’ll forget to send?

Can we please just not pretend that my thoughtlessness had purpose?

Do you think that it was worth it?

I’m not the same as I was when we were younger.

We swam out past the shallow breakers.

I never thought that the tide would take us.

We live just to love and learn to give it up.

(We are in the arms of lovers...)

We are hopeless, we’re all comets

with love for someone carried on us.

We live just to learn but hope never gives us up.

(We are in the arms of lovers...)

Soldiers with heavy hearts.

Just reach out into the dark.

You found me walking through our town

in the dead of night - I was looking for you.

I always thought that if you loved me in the end I could fall but I would mend.

But I’m tired of this secret 'cause I know that I can’t keep it.

I’m not the same as I was when we were younger.

We swam out past the shallow breakers.

I never thought that the tide would take us.

We live just to love and learn to give it up.

(We are in the arms of lovers...)

We are hopeless, we’re all comets

with love for someone carried on us.

We live just to learn but hope never gives us up.

(We are in the arms of lovers...)

Soldiers with heavy hearts.

Just reach out into the dark.

Soldiers with heavy hearts.

Just reach out into the dark.

We swam out past the shallow breakers.

I never thought that the tide would take us.

We live just to love and learn to give it up.

(We are in the arms of lovers...)

We are hopeless, we’re all comets

with love for someone carried on us.

We live just to learn but hope never gives us up.

(We are in the arms of lovers...)

Soldiers with heavy hearts,

just reach out into the dark.
