heartspace - candles Lyrics

Shadows on your face I knew you couldn't stay
Couldn't watch you go so I turned my gaze
Then I pulled you close and I held you over me
Staring in your brown eyes
Wishing myself back to may
And you know we were so tangled
And I was so lost
All in your affection that couldn't be fought
As I'm striking a match I am thinking of you
The light is all burned out
If candles could talk
Steam on my skin
Feels like your hands
In the flickering light
I see you
So I clutch my chest
And I steady my breathing
And I hold myself so I don't break in two
And you know we were so tangled and I was so lost
All in your affection that couldn't be fought
As I'm striking a match I am thinking of you
The light is all burned out
Well I've tried every door every one of them's locked
I guess I'll just stay here retracing my thoughts
I hate every second got rid of my clocks
The light is all burned out
If candles could talk
If candles could talk
(Well the light is all burned out)
If candles could talk
(And we were so tangled)
If candles could talk
(I held you over me)
The light is all burned out burned out burned out oh burned out yeah
Well the light is all burned out burned out burned out oh burned out yeah
Shadows on my face you knew you wouldn't stay
Said you loved me just to walk away
