Candle Flames



Have you ever thought of things in this way
If we could burn like candle flames
So beautiful
So bright and pure
You always said what I needed to hear from you
"Things are gonna be alright"

You messed with my head then flew away from me
Was I just the key for your space ship ride?
I got no idea where you'll land your ship
I just want to know if I can reach you

Shout as I might, my words never reach you up there 
But you already know what I'm saying anyway, don't you know
As I am now, there's no way to shorten the distance between us
Memories fill the void up between us
You know I love the moon and stars, tell me, how did they shine?

You messed with my head then flew away from me
Was I just the key for your space ship ride?
I got no idea where you'll land your ship
I just want to know if I can reach you

I've grown so tired of feeling so alone
Just wish that some things wouldn't fade right away

Can't handle how reality crumbles down
When we were just stupid kids
You hit me like a comet
You left, but your words are still here
Are buried deep in my skull, deep sleeping but not yet dead

I will not ever forget
The way you moved when with me
I will not ever forget
Your voice pulses in my head
I won't let the memories slip away from me

You messed with my head then flew away from me
Was I just the key to your space ship ride?
I got no idea where you'll land your ship
I just want to know if I can reach you
I've grown so tired of feeling so alone
Just wish that some things wouldn't fade right away
Say I'm not alone

  1. We'll start our Race (D Version) by BACKDRAFT SMITHS

    Shoot for the stars, always aim for the top
    Moonlight waits behind clouds
    No one else can take the lead, rolling on
    Here for the ride
    Take in the days as they come and go

    We're waiting to hear the gunshot
    Hold on tight to all you can't believe
    We'll start our race

    A paint-splattered wall
    Horn blares, roaring cars
    Loneliness is what I fell
    Pain and hurt is what I know
    Salt air of the beach
    Shakes me from the drive
    Time rushes to the sky
    Stars crashing down

    Let's leave all of our regrets in the past
    Before we see the day break
    Regrets are like a dream, let them pass away
    Before you sleep
    Take in the fears, oh they come and go

    We're waiting to hear the gunshot
    Hold on tight to all the lies you've told
    Start the next race

    Burnt rubber screeches hot
    Won't slow at any crossing
    Red eyes, running on fumes,
    Grip strong to the steering wheel
    We don't need any signs
    Just gotta keep it simple

    Scenes flash from my old dreams
    And fade from my memory
    Falling away from me, I let go of them
    It's always times like these,
    When stars come crashing down
    Set up and ready, waiting for the signal

    Why not forget giving up?
    Forgot how to give up
    This story is born, but never ends

    Shoot for the starts, always aim for the top
    Moonlight waits behind clouds
    No one else can take the lead, rolling on
    Here for the ride
    Take in the days as they come and go
    We're waiting to hear the gunshot
    Hold on tight to all you can't believe
    We'll start our race

  2. Avoid by CLUTCHO

    One day it came to me
    I am always driving down the same road, the same way
    Looking for an off-ramp
    As I take the same turns, same old curbs each day

    One day it came right to me
    I'm always relying on other people to save me
    Trying to stand on my feet
    As I go back to ask you for help
    I go back to ask you for

    The speed is mine to set
    I will just go my own way

    So I won't forget what I see
    In my dirty rear-view mirror
    I take in each little detail

    The future, just an instant past
    Lies in my rear-view mirror
    I suck in each little detail

    That one day, you asked me
    "Hey, what would you do
    If you could do anything?"
    I was gonna dodge the question with a stupid joke
    But you went on,
    "Do it right now"

    Which reminds me, I think someone else
    Once told me
    "There is no time like now, don't wait"
    I did not get it at the time,
    But I feel like your words
    Made it clear, to me I get it now

    So I won't forget what I see
    In my dirty rear-view mirror
    I take in each little detail

    The future, just an instant past
    Lies in my rear-view mirror
    I suck in each little detail

    All those shadows on the horizon beckoning me
    All these people speeding right past me, off they go
