I spent my whole life waiting
And I can't remember how long
I've been burning the candle over you

I take my time anticipating
But the time is running away
I was burning the candle over you

I lie awake, head on my pillow
Thoughts in my head fanning the fire
'Cause you made the world
A little easier for me

I built a world, traveled the rivers
Down to the edge of the sea
I was burning the candle over you
