Roman Candles Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

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
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-ooh, ah-ooh
Ah-ooh, ah-ooh

And I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long ′cause they all explode
Like Roman candles
Like Roman candles
