Candle - Thelma Plum

I see a dog star divin' at his magic, snatchin' Keeps me up awake, go crystal cracking I can't wait, I can't stay, a candle Gotta change my mind before it burns out I'm the cocker on the rock Wind is whipping through my stupid mop I see a falling snowgirl walking Broadway Turns the corner at 14th and I know there's no way It's alright, it's alight candle And I know she'll be okay by Sunday I'm the cocker on the rock Humming bash starts shining in your electric clock It's safe to say, "Candle, tonight's the day, candle" It's alright now, candle, the wind's away, candle Never thought I'd see a dog star falling I'm the cocker on the rock Wind is whipping through my stupid mop

I'm like 10 thousand miles from you And there's like 10 thousand girls in view Let's tryna save them with me Get that drink on for free Tryna get me to my hotel room Back it up, back it up, back it up I ain't tryna do nothing Back it up, back it up, back it up All I want is my woman 'Cause they don't know the candle To you, to you You're my better handful It's true, it's true Ain't nobody taking your place You're the only body I praise They don't know the candle Yeah, they don't know the candle To youuuuuu She got that dress on to show her curves And she came backstage to do some work I knew when she said hello She was ready to go Round her finger round my shirt Back it up, back it up, back it up I ain't tryna do nothing Back it up, back it up, back it up All I want is my woman My woman 'Cause they don't know the candle To you, to you You're my better handful It's true, it's true Ain't nobody taking your place You're the only body I praise They don't know the candle Yeah, they don't know the candle To youuuuuu To youuuuuu Cause no one puts their hands on me Like youuuu Yeah nothing ever burns like your flame That's why I wouldn't give you my name 'Cause they don't hold a candle No one holds a candle To youuuuuu Ain't nobody taking your place You're the only body I praise 'Cause they don't know the candle Yeah, they don't know the candle To youuuuuu

You, for a long time it was you I was young and insecure About the way I looked And then you said "Stay" And I couldn't look away I was staring at your face in front of me I could not believe All the things you said That showed me what's inside your head Yeah you are so beautiful And so full of it all I wish that I could start again And maybe I will be your friend Then I wouldn't have to know who you really are You're so ugly On the inside With a face like that it's easier to hide That you're so ugly On the inside On the inside You're so ugly I was a country girl And I wondered in your world But little did I know How low someone would go 'Cause you never cared about me Did you? Admit It I was just a bet and that's pretty ugly All the things you said That showed me what's inside your head Yeah you are so beautiful And so full of it all I wish that I could start again And maybe I will be your friend Then I wouldn't have to know who you really are You're so ugly On the inside With a face like that it's easier to hide That you're so ugly On the inside On the inside You're so ugly So damn ugly On the inside With a face like that it's easier to hide That you're so ugly On the inside On the inside You're so ugly You're so ugly

I wanna live life with heavy '11 vibes We didn't have approval before label signs Multiple times I can't wait for the complaints About cut vocals and pop 'Cause y'all are stuck in the past And I've got a crystal ball "Nobody wants to hear you cry about your breakup, so drop it" Well, that's fine too because I'm fucking sick of talking about it Let's talk about shows and ghosts and shows and clothes Designs and shows and shows (okay I think you might be right) See, I'm like you without good moods and My cave's my room where I'll cave too Yeah, I'm like you without good moods And you'll be sorry when you come to Lose your mind I treat walking the plank Like I'm jumping off a diving board Listening to The Latest Plague I breathe nostalgia until I'm bored I can't just give a love song Without a bitter aftertaste I'm afraid to dive headfirst And crack my brain out of it's cage It's harder than it should be For me to be straightforward Like even when I did I couldn't tell her I adored her Which I know is messed up And I know I messed up But at least I 'fessed up Now of course it's too late See, I'm like you without good moods and My cave's my room where I'll cave too Yeah, I'm like you without good moods And you'll be sorry when you come to Lose your mind I could live on a life raft next to you I would swim if it keeps me close to you If you fall I'll swim right back to you I could live on a life raft next to you I've been building this island every day Waiting for the right time to get away Every day, I'm more numb to the Sad Game So I'll just live on this island until I break See, I'm like you without good moods and My cave's my room where I'll cave too Yeah, I'm like you without good moods And you'll be sorry when you come to See, I'm like you without good moods and My cave's my room where I'll cave too Yeah, I'm like you without good moods And you'll be sorry when you come to Lose your mind I could live on a life raft next to you I would swim if it keeps me close to you If you fall I'll swim right back to you I could live on a life raft next to you I've been building this island every day Waiting for the right time to get away Every day, I'm more numb to the Sad Game So I'll just live on this island until I break
