Blackout Candle

(ooh-ooh) Looking in these thrift store mirrors

Wondering if we could be clearer

We pay off the doubt with a spark in the dark (yeah-yeah)

A blackout cake with a single candle glow

You were the opener,

three songs in a row

Now you rewrite the text on the fire escape

Under a shared blanket,

watching the city shape Trying to make it safe,

writing until it's dull But there is a current beneath the quiet

lull

(can you feel it) Looking in these thrift store mirrors

Wondering if we could be clearer

We pay off the doubt with a spark in the dark (yeah-yeah)

We count the seconds as the wax begins to slide

Everyday details that we no longer hide

You say the rewrite lost the magic of the start But we

are sitting close, heart to beating heart Trying to make it safe,

writing until it's dull

But there is a current beneath the quiet lull

(can you feel it)

Looking in these thrift store mirrors

Wondering if we could be clearer

We pay off the doubt with a spark in the dark (yeah-yeah)

With a shared blanket In the mirror glow (ooh-ooh-ooh)
