Comets - Charlie Simpson

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

Will we please just not pretend

That my thoughtlessness had purpose

Do you think that it was worthless

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
