lyrics

breathless, red in the face. once again, too fast a pace. i need to slow down..someone to show me around. my kingdom for a candle with a slow burn. i’d like that much better cause i’m a slow learn. my ships and ports for a flame of sorts that lasts more than one night…stay longer, burn brighter so i know we’re both right. restless, not enough sleep. calling you instead of counting sheep. means nothing if i’m well-rested but blue. i’d trade it all for a twenty-fifth hour with you, and i’d sell my kingdom for a candle with a slow burn. i’d like that much better cause i’m a slow learn. my ships and ports for a flame of sorts that lasts more than one night. stay longer, burn brighter so i know we’re both right. does your brain race as fast as mine, always keeping broken syncopated time? thoughts like fractals splinter, too. the kind in margins drawn when planning what to do. do you dream like i dream of deep breaths and cool water? everything in baby steps we’ll meet the worst and celebrate the rest but first: a light! alright! our fire’s burning bright and so we stoke the embers. what was life before this bubble in my chest? do i even wanna remember? // my kingdom for a candle with a slow burn. i’d like that much better cause i’m a slow learn. my ships and ports for a flame of sorts that lasts more than one night. stay longer, burn brighter so i know we’re both right
