Never light your candles in the dark
If you're afraid of the spark
Or of burning your fingers
I've thought about death a lot
Don't know if I like what I've got
But your beauty still lingers
I called the son of God upon the phone
Said 'How d' you like it there alone?
But I found out we have no purpose
When I felt lonely in my home
And when the lights went out
I didn't make a sound
I'm still learning how to breathe
When I'm drowning now
Never let them take what you've got
Even if it's not a lot
And you're afraid of losing
I'd like to change the way things are
To find out how to be your star
Don't you find this amusing?
Thought I could feel the weather in my bones
I thought I'd never make it home
But I found out we have no purpose
When I called and you were gone
And when the lights went out
I didn't make a sound
I'm still learning how to breathe
When I'm drowning now
Never light your candles in the dark
If you're afraid of the spark
Or of burning your fingers
