[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle
Just a perfect apple, oh

Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle
Just a perfect apple

[Verse 2]
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
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

[Bridge]
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old, so

[Chorus]
Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle
Just a perfect apple, oh
