Candlelight
Hold the luck I'm pushing
Would ya keep it safe and sound
Lord knows I will need it
When the doctor comes around
I'm so very tired
And my fingernails hurt
I wish I could take a pill
But I need to stay alert
Yeah I'm so strong
It's my blessing and my curse
Pray it's not my fatal flaw
To put 'em all first
The bridge over catastrophe
Suspended on my back
I'm buckled at the knees
But I'm doing the best I can
So can you believe in me when I don't
Can you shut your mouth when I won't
Can you ground me when I fly
Stay up with me all night
Even when there's nothing to say
Lay by the candlelight
Well, I'm trying to be less
Of a martyr like my mom
I'm gonna fall apart
If they drop another bomb
I should break the eggshells
And name a perpetrator
So I don't land at Cedars
On a re-used respirator
They dragged me to the desert
'Cause he checked out of the rehab
Now he's walking with my heart
Around the block and he's wearing a CPAP
All under control
'Til they changed up all the plans
I'm holding down the fort
Doing the best I can
So can you believe in me when I don't
Can you shut your mouth when I won't
Can you ground me when I fly
Stay up with me all night
Even when there's nothing to say
Lay by the candlelight
Lay by the candlelight
All I need is place I can rest
Test me again and I'll fall into the dregs
Sleep before I stand
Weep before I land
I'm doing the best I can
So you can believe in me when I don't
Can you shut your mouth when I won't
Can you ground me when I fly
Stay up with me all night
Even when there's nothing to say
Can you believe in me when I don't
Can you shut your mouth when I won't
Can you ground me when I fly
Stay up with me all night
Even when there's nothing to say
Lay by the candlelight
Lay by the candlelight
Lay by the candlelight
Would ya keep it safe and sound
Lord knows I will need it
When the doctor comes around
I'm so very tired
And my fingernails hurt
I wish I could take a pill
But I need to stay alert
Yeah I'm so strong
It's my blessing and my curse
Pray it's not my fatal flaw
To put 'em all first
The bridge over catastrophe
Suspended on my back
I'm buckled at the knees
But I'm doing the best I can
So can you believe in me when I don't
Can you shut your mouth when I won't
Can you ground me when I fly
Stay up with me all night
Even when there's nothing to say
Lay by the candlelight
Well, I'm trying to be less
Of a martyr like my mom
I'm gonna fall apart
If they drop another bomb
I should break the eggshells
And name a perpetrator
So I don't land at Cedars
On a re-used respirator

Can you shut your mouth when I won't
Can you ground me when I fly
Stay up with me all night
Even when there's nothing to say

So you can believe in me when I don't
Can you shut your mouth when I won't
Can you ground me when I fly
Stay up with me all night
Even when there's nothing to say
Can you believe in me when I don't
Can you shut your mouth when I won't
Can you ground me when I fly
Stay up with me all night
Even when there's nothing to say
Lay by the candlelight
Lay by the candlelight
Lay by the candlelight
