I can hear your car 

as you leave driving in circles.

Reluctant to park 

until you're ready and stable.



So walk with me into the fire. C'mon follow me 

Close behind and we'll go where they won't know

Our seconds and sorrows.

We should leave while we can and be gone by tomorrow

Can't you see how the second hand turns

We should go while the candle still burns.



You hesitate to start

you just stand there with your hands bare

and wonder who you are

and you take too much to heart

so you build another thrill

'til this one falls apart



So walk with me into the fire. C'mon follow me 

Close behind and we'll go where they won't know

Our seconds and sorrows.

We should leave while we can and be gone by tomorrow

Can't you see how the second hand turns

We should go while the candle still burns.



Have you ever

let another put out your flame

and have you ever said I'm a fool to stay in the same place

So we'll go where they won't know

Our secrets and sorrows

We should leave while we can and be gone by tomorrow

Can't you see how the second hand turns

and we'll go where they won't know our secrets and sorrows 

we should leave while we can and be gone by tomorrow

Can't you see how the second hand turns



We should go while the candle still burns

We should go while the candle still burns
