Lyrically “Roman Candles” touche...
[Verse 1]
It’s been a battle just to wake and greet the day
Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee
(Sugar in my coffee)
A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains
The acidity devouring my body
(Devouring my body)
[Chorus]
But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long ‘cause they all explode
Like roman candles
[Verse 2]
I used to feel everything like a flame
But now it’s a struggle just to feel anything
(To feel anything)
I watch the world from a window on a hill
Everyone moving as I’m standing still
(I’m standing still)
[Chorus]
But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long ‘cause they all explode
Like roman candles
Ah-woo, ah-woo
Ah-woo, ah-woo
[Chorus]
But I am learning to let go (ah-woo)
Of everything I tried to hold (ah-woo)
Too long ‘cause they all explode
Like roman candles
Like roman candles
