Dm x2
Dm
The candle's out of breath again.
F Am
My silent twin in paraffin.
Dm
Familiar trip across the hall
F Am
becomes a course of obstacles.
Dm
A step, a slip, an awkward twist.
F Am
A fumbling man who might be missed.
Dm
My pupils shrink. You fill the view.
F Am
I find my body drawn to you,
C Bb
but I'm afraid to get too close because
Dm C Bb F
You're shining, burning, blinding like the sun.
G
You're one of the stars that captivates me,
Bb C
but I've stared at you too long. x2
Dm x2
Dm
Out of pocket, locked in light.
F Am
A penny in a world of dimes.
Dm
Flipped around, my front exposed.
F Am
I never fashioned silver clothes.
Dm
Can't you see my blushing face
F Am
felt better in its hiding place?
Dm
I need to see the shadows fade
F Am
or turn my head the other way
C Bb
and never look again because
Dm C Bb F
You're shining, burning, blinding like the sun.
G
You're one of the stars that captivates me,
Bb C
but I've stared at you too long. x2
Dm
Now I’m done
