Fire meets wax at the death of this candle As smoke reaches out for the roof My eyes adjust in a vacuum of life As day turns to dark shade of blue Laugh at the odds of being born at the same time Let alone being here in my room It's just like me to be here crunching numbers When I could just be here with you
Wrapped in lengths of flowing white marble It's hard to believe you are real Tell me how does it feel? Tell me how does it feel?
I see the meaning of life in your eyes It's like swimming in the ocean at night And when I'm with you, it's like I'm on fire Nothing is real outside myself and your smile lines
Bring me down the sweet soft sound My name, the way it sparkles when it leaves your mouth Fill my soul with you
One of these days, your shell will wilter And your chocolate hair will turn white I'll do my best to still be here with you But to myself I've been unkind So while I'm still here I need to tell you that all that I want with my time Is when you look back in your last moments That you see a beautiful life
Left the weight of my life behind me And all that ahead is now you Are you coming too? Tell me you're coming too
I see the meaning of life in your eyes It's like swimming in the ocean at night And when I'm with you, it's like I'm on fire Nothing is real outside myself and your smile lines
Bring me down the sweet soft sound My name, the way it sparkles when it leaves your mouth I fill my soul with you
