Halley Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So scared you'll get sick, but not 'cause you'd be hurting

You will cease to exist before resembling a burden

Felt safe from above, you are Halley's Comet

To see you just once, I'd wait a lifetime, I promise

[Pre-Chorus]

Terrified of reaching out when it's nothing you can say out loud

Don't tell me the worst will pass

Just how long the longing will last

[Chorus]

All the mean bones in your body are dissolving

You're half as harmful when you leave

Pray your service lands on a leap year

You want no one to be there

Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved

[Verse 2]

And if these walls could talk

I think they'd start to question

Why I just stare at them all

So scared you'll get sick, but not 'cause you'd be hurting

You will cease to exist before resembling a burden

Felt safe from above (Safe from above)

You are Halley's Comet

To see you just once, I'd wait a lifetime, I promise

Your greatest fear is someone taking care of you

But that's what I was made to do

Your freckles will disappear when the sun starts to set too soon

[Chorus]

All the mean bones in your body are dissolving

You're half as harmful when you leave

Pray your service lands on a leap year

You want no one to be there

Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved

[Outro]

Do you take the credit or the blame

(All the mean bones in your body are dissolving)

Whenever you hear my name?

Either way, you sculpted me as your own, oh

(You're half as harmful when you leave)

Take the credit or the blame

(Pray your service lands on a leap year)

Whenever you hear my name

(You want no one to be there)

Either way, you sculpted me as your own, oh

(Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved)
