Comets

Am I a terrible lie, just a southern mess? Am I the signature you'll forget 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
