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… |
