comets

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 all my thoughtlessness had purpose

do you think that it was worth it?

i'm not they 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

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 cos i know that i can't keep it

i'm not they 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

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
