Roman Candles

  • It's been a battle just to wake and greet the day
    Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee (sugar in my coffee)
    A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains
    The acidity devouring my body (devouring my body)

    But I am learning to let go
    Of everything I tried to hold
    Too long 'cause they all explode like roman candles

    I used to feel everything like a flame
    Now it's a struggle just to feel anything (to feel anything)
    I watch the world from a window on a hill
    Everyone moving as I'm standing still (I'm standing still)

    But I am learning to let go
    Of everything I tried to hold
    Too long 'cause they all explode like roman candles

    Ah woo, ah woo
    Ah woo, ah woo

    But I am learning to let go
    Of everything I tried to hold
    Too long 'cause they all explode
    Like roman candles, like roman candles Writer/s: Benjamin Gibbard
