They handed her a gift bag with a candle, a face serum, and a hat that said "tour wife." She wore the hat. They put her in heels and filled her hair with pins and took her shopping on Rodeo like she's somebody's project. Six hundred dollars for a candle — ma'am, that's half her classroom budget. But the best part of the madness is falling back to him at the end of the night. All she wants is her coffee in bed. And the candle was nice. She's keeping the candle.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Spoken — Male] She used to call me a comet. Said I'd blaze through and disappear. [Spoken — Female] I didn't know I'd end up flying with him. [MUSIC BEGINS] [Verse 1 - MALE] [MALE SINGING] I used to burn across the sky alone. [MALE SINGING] Passing through your town, like something you could never own. [MALE SINGING] You stood in your yard, and watched me streak across the dark. [MALE SINGING] You said "I don't need to own that light, [MALE SINGING] I just love the spark." [MALE SINGING] But somewhere on the way, from who I was to who I am, [MALE SINGING] You stepped off the ground, and took my hand. [Verse 2 — Female] [FEMALE SINGING] I had my roots, my classroom, my boys, my piece of ground. [FEMALE SINGING] I was the one who stayed, you were the one who flew around. [FEMALE SINGING] But my roots helped you learn to trust me, [FEMALE SINGING] And the woman who was watching, is now part of the song. [FEMALE SINGING] I didn't need your spotlight, didn't need the fuss, [FEMALE SINGING] But I needed you, and you come back to all of us. [Chorus — BOTH SINGING] [SINGING TOGETHER] We're comets now, burning side by side. Two ordinary lives, setting fire to the sky. [FEMALE SINGING] I didn't plan for this, [MALE SINGING] and neither did I, [BOTH SINGING] But here we are, baby, blazing through. [BOTH SINGING] We're comets now! We're the light tonight. And the world looks different, up here from this high. Two people who were never meant to fly, Burning together, across the sky. [Verse 3 — MALE] [MALE SINGING] The cameras want our story, and we give 'em what we've got. [MALE SINGING] She holds my hand, in front of ten thousand phones. [FEMALE SINGING] He holds mine, like I'm the only reason he comes home. [MALE SINGING] The boys are off in college, living lives we helped them start. [FEMALE SINGING] And now it's just us two, still learning how to share a heart. [Chorus — BOTH SINGING] [SINGING TOGETHER] We're comets now, burning side by side. Two ordinary lives, setting fire to the sky. [FEMALE SINGING] I didn't plan for this, [MALE SINGING] and neither did I, [BOTH SINGING] But here we are, baby, blazing through. [BOTH SINGING] We're comets now! We're the light tonight. And the world looks different, up here from this high. Two people who were never meant to fly, Burning together, across the sky. [Bridge] [FEMALE SINGING] Some nights I miss the quiet of my kitchen and my tea. [MALE SINGING] Some nights I miss the desert, and the man I used to be. [FEMALE SINGING] But I wouldn't trade this madness. [MALE SINGING] And I wouldn't trade this view. [BOTH SINGING TOGETHER] For anything, that doesn't have you standing in it too. [MALE SINGING] We know this is a new chapter. [FEMALE SINGING] Not a whole new book. [MALE SINGING] But what a chapter. [FEMALE SINGING] What a view. [BOTH SINGING] What a thing to look back on, and say "we really flew!" [Chorus — BOTH SINGING] [SINGING TOGETHER] We're comets now, burning side by side. Two ordinary lives, setting fire to the sky. [FEMALE SINGING] I didn't plan for this, [MALE SINGING] and neither did I, [BOTH SINGING] But here we are, baby, blazing through. [BOTH SINGING] But here we are, baby, blazing through. [BOTH SINGING] We're comets now! We're the light tonight. And the world looks different, up here from this high. Two people who were never meant to fly, Burning together, across the sky. [Outro] [MALE SINGING] She used to watch me from the ground. [FEMALE SINGING] He used to pass right by. [BOTH SINGING] Now we're flying together. And we're lighting up the sky.
