Single from Yola’s debut album ‘Walk Through Fire’.
The song seems to combine some of Yola’s experiences as a musician and in her personal life.
Yola lost her mother to motor neuron disease.
At the same time the song seems to incorporate some other personal experiences from her life as a musician....
[Verse 1]
You lit the candles on the cake
And threw the match down on the floor
Wish I knew what you were wishing for
Handing out the paper plates
To all your friends that you adore
Are you haunted and wanting more?
[Chorus]
That faraway look in your eyes
It's getting harder to disguise
[Verse 2]
Nobody moves the way you do
Walking 'round the grocery store
Only you know what you're looking for
And when your working day is through
You walk the darkness to your bed
To dream the dreams that live inside your head
[Chorus]
That faraway look in your eyes
It's getting harder to disguise
[Chorus]
That faraway look in your eyes
It's getting harder to disguise
