Death Cab for Cutie
Roman Candles (Acoustic)
[Verse 1]
It's been a battle just to wake and greet the day
Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee
Like sugar in my coffee
A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains
The acidity devouring my body
Devouring my body

[Chorus]
But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long 'cause they all explode
Like roman candles

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long 'cause they all explode
Like roman candles
[Bridge]
Ah-ooh-ooh, ah-ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long 'cause they all explode
Like roman candles

[Outro]
Like roman candles
