[Verse 1]
If ever you feel cold
I hope you’ll come on over
Hope you’ll think of me
Find comfort in the small things
[Verse 2]
If ever you feel ordinary
I hope you’ll think of what we’ve done
Hope you’ll think of my heart and yours
And think of all the big stuff
[Chorus]
You’re sweet like candy
I knew it since you arrived
You make for lighter landings
I prepare for hard falls but am met with light every time
[Verse 3]
You feel to me like fiction
It never is quite real to me
You match my best depiction
Of dreams I hoped one day I might see
[Verse 4]
I waited through the winter
I hoped I’d catch some sign of spring
You came into my purview
Disrupted everything
[Chorus]
You’re sweet like candy
I knew it since you arrived
You make for lighter landings
I prepare for hard falls but am met with light every time
[Post-Chorus]
If we don’t match up every time
If you leave me in the dark or outside
If some days your heart is not as full as mine
I will trust the beaten path to morning light
And hope to meet you there in some time
[Chorus]
You’re sweet like candy
I knew it since you arrived
You make for lighter landings
I prepare for hard falls but am met with light every time
