When I'm south and lonely, and nothing feels closeWhen I'm west of nowhere, and need you the mostWhen I'm down on my knees, and don't know what to doThat's when I light, I light a candle for youWhen I wake from visions, and I can't find your heartAnd the night keeps my mind somewhere deep in the darkWhen I want the sunrise, but I'm stuck with the moonI light, I light a candle for youHope that flame finds a way over thousands of milesHope it lands on your skin, and it lights up your eyesHope it cuts through the shadows, and shines on the truthHope the fire keeps you aliveHope you're warm in your roomThat's why I light, I light a candle for youWhen you can't see yourself in the secrets you keepWhen you can't see yourself in the secrets you keepAnd you can't find that spark that led you to meI'll be down on my knees, because that's what I doI light, I light a candle for youHope that flame finds a way over thousands of milesHope it lands on your skin, and it lights up your eyesHope it cuts through the shadows, and shines on the truthI hope that fire keeps you warm in your cold in your roomThat's why I light, I light a candle for youThat's why I light, I light a candle for youThat's why I lightI light a candle for youI light a candle for youI light a candle for you.
