Nate Ruess - Light a Roman Candle With Me lyrics

[Intro] Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle You can wear your sandals And I'll pour you just one cup of tea Then you can go and rest You haven't seen my best, so [Verse 1] Just spend an evening with me Just a lazy evening Then you could be leaving Or we could stay and talk until three I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so [Chorus x2] Light a roman candle with me Just a roman candle Just a perfect apple [Verse 2] If we were honest And both wrote a sonnet Together a sandwich with everything on it At least we would know That the sparks didn't glow But we owe it to ourselves to try So we aim and ignite! So often I call and I plead with you: "Give me a chance!" It's not often that I understand The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right So don't think of tomorrow tonight Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone, so alive You look for a legend I'm looking for common ground Your heart isn't breaking And mine isn't making a sound [Bridge] Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old, so [Chorus]
