[Verse 1]
When the summer sun melts candles
I dig out the wick
Honey, we're up against something
Our love alone can't fix
So I won't see the garden or the figs when they are ripe
It hurts to be leaving
But I know that staying ain't right

[Verse 2]
It was always fun getting a little drunk
On your back deck in the rain
And I cook for you like a good woman do
You had no reason to be afraid
That my heart was hidden behind a wall that came before you
It's really no one's fault
But I tried to warn you

[Bridge]
You wanted understanding
Your intentions, they werе pure
Well, that wasn't the problеm
I always knew that they were

[Verse 3]
When the summer sun melts candles
I dig out the wick
In another life, it's simple
But I know someone is gonna get
All the love you have to give
You need a heart that's ready for ya
It's really no one's fault
But I tried to warn you
