candles

[Verse 1]

Few I've ever met brought me to song

But if I don't speak of you I should speak of none

December 31st like I knew you all at once

See we were all there, I pushed you to come along

Wetness at my feet left me dumb

From a stream from another room your tears strung

We put our arms all around you

And put our arms all around you

[Chorus]

You saw the whole room as vigil

Laying hands, all candles lit (laying hands, all candles lit)

There was always two visions

Both you collapse, in one you fix (both you collapse, in one you fix)

You collapse, in one you fix

[Verse 2]

But it came to be you were alone for months

With that mother of yours that still stuttered "son"

But all those prayers stuck close and clung

Till you open the door, six billion waiting out front

The wetness at your feet left you dumb

A tidal from your skull their tears had strung

They couldn't put their arms around you

And couldn't put their arms around you

[Chorus]

You saw the whole world as vigil

Laying hands, all candles lit (laying hands, all candles lit)

There was always two visions

Both you collapse, in one you fix (both you collapse, in one you fix)

Both you collapse, in one you fix

[Outro]

Both you collapse, in one you fix (both you collapse, in one you fix)

You saw the whole world as vigil

Laying hands, all candles lit

And there was always two visions

Both you collapse, in one you fix
