Candle |
A leaf catches wind as I wake from sleep once again |
I was dreaming of pulling my teeth right out of my head |
Do you think there’s some meaning to that |
Like maybe I’m growing too old way too fast |
And all my bridges are turning to ash behind my back |
While I’ve been burning my candle at both ends |
Don’t go burning your candle at both ends |
I’ve been smoking and thinking all day |
Of how we might waste this whole winter away |
Dreaming up songs of true love gone astray |
And longing for spring |
We are hungry but never afraid |
We get by on crumbs and the strum of a string |
Because we know nothing gold ever stays |
We gave everything |
I keep burning my candle at both ends |
Won’t stop burning that candle at both ends |
The storm, it is coming my way |
(I must be moving on) |
I keep running but still can’t escape |
(The earth she curves and I go along |
It licks my skin gray) |
Can’t help but feel like I’m digging my own grave |
I hope you enjoyed the parade |
(The piss stench of my rolling home) |
The bond that we built here today |
(Grows stronger with each burning sun |
Like the ash that we breathe |
Like the love that we leave) |
The blood and the sweat are for free |
We won’t charge you a thing |
We keep burning our candle at both ends |
You keep burning your candle at both ends |
When you tell me I’ve been bad |
I will turn my head and laugh |
'Cause I’ve been drinking gin and I’ve been cursing |
You said if you lead a life of sin |
Then the fire is what you get |
Well I’m only trying to live so I deserve it |
La da da… |
