Death Cab for Cutie - Roman Candles Lyrics

It's been a battle just to wake and greet the day
Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee (sugar in my coffee)
A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains
The acidity devouring my body (devouring my body)

But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long 'cause they all explode like roman candles

I used to feel everything like a flame
Now it's a struggle just to feel anything (to feel anything)
I watch the world from a window on a hill
Everyone moving as I'm standing still (I'm standing still)

But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long 'cause they all explode like roman candles

Ah woo, ah woo
Ah woo, ah woo

But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long 'cause they all explode
Like roman candles, like roman candles
