lyrics

Half past six watch the sunset it distracts me from the lump inside my throat
Fast Track through the Bay Bridge tollbooth, headed for San Francisco
Volley of words, rapid fire on the phone, then silence
“If you’d like to make a call, please hang up and try again”
I accelerate to make my escape from the freeway

Chorus:
We never talk anymore
Remember when we’d burn the candle down
We never talk anymore

Submerge in cathartic release; from the stage I am authentic
Expose insecurities for perfect strangers – no admission to you
Words leave my mouth uncontested; the audience is listening
Your voice, a contradiction in my head
Drowned out by their whistles and applause
Chorus X2

Your ring ignored, I have no words
Pride casts a shadow ‘pon our resolution
And making love just don’t say what we both need to hear
Ooohhh’s

Quarter to six in the morning, lower deck Bay Bridge - slinking home
The sun smacks my windshield; my song – a tired concession
Tail underneath me, apologies are on the house
Gas tank empty, fuel spent driving ‘round town,
The Mission, the Fillmore, and the Sunset (but there was no sun)
Chorus X4

Remember when…we used to burn... the candle down…
