Lyrics:

Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
And I'll pour you just one cup of tea
Then you can go and rest, you haven't seen my best, so

Just spend an evening with me
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
Or we could stay and talk until three
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so

Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle
Just a perfect apple

Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle
Just a perfect apple

If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet
Together a sandwich with everything on it
At least we would know that the sparks didn't glow
But we owe it to ourselves to try, so we aim and ignite

So often I call and I plead with you:
"Give me a chance!"
It's not that often that I understand
The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right
Don't think of tomorrow tonight

Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old
But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone
So alive

You look for a legend
I'm looking for common ground
Your heart isn't breaking
And mine isn't making a sound, oh

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old

So light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle
Just a perfect apple
