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...

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...

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

Just a perfect apple

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

Just a perfect apple

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.

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old

Light a roman candle with me

Just a roman candle

Just a perfect apple
