Songtext Roman candles Death Cab For Cutie

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
But 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 (ah-woo)
Of everything I tried to hold (ah-woo)
Too long ‘cause they all explode
Like roman candles
Like roman candles
