[Intro: Rou Reynolds, Sam Ryder]
I wish I was a comet
Burning up into the night
I wish I was a comet
But I'm just a satellite
Woah-oh, ah
Woah-oh
[Verse 1: Rou Reynolds, Sam Ryder Both]
I don't like the limelight
So we don't hold hands in daylight
I still drag the closet
All my limbs, they ache inside
And surely, all my family and my friends
My god and my ends
They cannot all be wrong
So I play along:
[Refrain: Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Sam Ryder]
We refrain from touch
We are satellites (Da dada dada da)
In a cosmic dance
Amongst the northern lights (Da dada dada da)
[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Sam Ryder]
And we orbit fast
But I wish we could collide
I'm sick of concealing
I'm sick of the feeling
I no longer want to hide
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Sam Ryder, Chris Batten & Sam Ryder]
'Cause I think it could be love
(Yeah I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
'Cause I think it could be love
('Cause I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
[Verse 2: Rou Reynolds & Sam Ryder]
All the gravity between us
Someone bring me down to land
And write a prayer to Venus
What is life without affection
[Refrain: Sam Ryder, with Rou Reynolds]
We refrain from touch
We are satellites (Da dada dada da)
In a cosmic dance
Amongst the northern lights (Da dada dada da)
[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Sam Ryder]
And we orbit fast
But I wish we could collide
I'm sick of concealing
I'm sick of the feeling
I no longer want to hide
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Sam Ryder, Chris Batten & Sam Ryder]
'Cause I think it could be love
(Yeah I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
[Bridge: Chris Batten, with Sam Ryder]
Now online they discuss:
Whether I exist
And in the court they decide:
Who I can kiss
Now online they discuss:
Whether I exist
And in the court they decide:
Who I can kiss
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Sam Ryder & Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Sam Ryder]
'Cause I think it could be love
(Yeah I think it could be love)
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
'Cause I think it could be love
('Cause I think it could be love)>
But I can't show you enough
(But I can't show you enough)>
I wanna burn through the atmosphere
Soar like a meteor tonight
