Watching The Candles Burn Lyrics

Why am I spending all my one night stands in Honky Tonks with cover bands?

If the world is ending, I'm making plans to get on with my life

Wash your face, pull back your hair

Pack your bags, we're out of here

Let's leave behind the want and fear, and get on with our lives

I'm…

Watching the candles burn

As the records turn

And the sound reaches my brain

Remember when the streets were safe?

You could hitch a ride, go catch a wave

Back when people made time to play and got on with their lives

But something happened when the kids went missing

The talking heads the politicians

Full of lies and contradictions

I'm…

Watching the candles burn

As the records turn

And the sound reaches my brain

Watching the candles burn

As the records turn

And the sound reaches my brain

Ooooo, Ooooo

Ooooo, Ooooo

There's letting go I'm letting go of here

To say the least, it's been a losing year

Somedays I want to disappear and get on with my life

So I, I lock my place without a care

Pack my bags and I'm out of here

Leave behind the want and fear, and get on with my life

I've paid my dues, I'm out of gas

And there's no point in looking back

Searching for the things I lack

I gotta get on with my life

I gotta get on with my life

I gotta get on with my life

Gotta get on with my, get on with my, get on with my life

Watching the candles burn

As the records turn

And the sound reaches my brain

Watching the candles burn

As the records turn

And the sound reaches my brain
