Trick Candle

Been stuck to you

I don't wanna be

They say seven years of bad luck

That's all you'll ever mean to me

I shoulda gotten ahead of it

All the times you didn't follow through

And here, we're in Connecticut

You don't light the fire, just the match

Tear my shirt then sew the patch

Give me one thing I can keep

You're always leavin' me in the dark with a trick candle

Think I've blown out the spark for my phantom

But the sweetness in your excuses let some turn into illusions

Keepin' me in the dark

One summer I was seventeen

Still never felt the way I did

That first time that you looked at me

Oh shit, not now, but not now

The thought had meant more

To think I know better now, no

You don't lock the windows, just the door

Was never mine but I was yours

Give me one thing I can keep

You're always leavin' me in the dark with a trick candle

Think I've blown out the spark for my phantom

But the sweetness in your excuses let some turn into illusions

Keepin' me in the dark

I was sad, is it gonna beat you on?

I've made it past everything

You're finally right here
