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 often that I understand
The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right
So 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 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
