Paper Gliders - Birthday Candles Lyrics

What strange emotion is this?
Why can I feel our first kiss?
Though it wasn't that long ago
You try to not reminisce
But it's hard when you ask me if
Your hand feels right wrapped round my throat

Better down
Better up
Better sad, baby
Better mad
Bad for me
Better still
I would die, baby
You know I will

Let all the bygones be gone
I'll use myself up till I'm gone
Then tell them all about our rapture
Too dizzy now to say no
I cursed you into my world
Is it wrong to want you at all?

Better down
Better up
Better sad, baby
Better mad
Bad for me
Better still
I would die, baby
You know I will

If you leave then I'll be better
Haven't seen you for a while

So how did you come back to me?
You took my love, it's not enough I see
There's a strange presence in your frequency
I made a promise, now just let me be

My birthday candles
A shooting star
I'm always gonna wish for you
No matter where you are

Not a waste
Not a waste
Not a waste
