This restaurant, this whole evening is difficult
You're only ten feet away
But I came here with other people, who came for their sanity’s sake
And I take care of it
I sneak in looks at you
While smiling, all my guests alive
Tonight there's never one right moment to
Hit on you

Both our tables overlook the ocean
They suggest we swim away
Off will go our most beautiful attire
And on will come the waves

Or so I says to me
(Or so I says to me)

Or maybe just a drink I can get someone else to bring to you on my behalf
Would be enough to have half of your face look away from-...whatever don't look at me

I bet that we would spark
Despite the closeness of the ocean night beside us
I’ve been here for an hour
And every hour's twice
A lifetime lived alone
Every hour's twice
A lifetime lived alone
(Every hour's twice)
(A lifetime lived alone)
Let's hope that you're alone as well
We can spark and talk about it
Let's hope that you're alone as well
We can talk about it

Around here the candles never fear the water, flickering forever
Though to them it’s like millions of miles
But I can’t speak to one guy that looks smarter than me
Or find a smile for him

Holy shit!
He might be getting up to step out for some air
Oh god he's gonna come for air
Steps out to where I concede to him alone

"Oh, hey"
("Hi!")
Say something more to him
"Oh, hey"
("Hi!")
Say something more to him
Let him know you’re gay, that you're in love with every way that he doesn't say a thing
"It is-...I-...I-...it is-...it's-...it’s-...it-...it is-...
It's such a cold night tonight"
("Yeah it is. I like your jacket!")
"Th-th-th-thanks. Though I couldn't find it in black."
Oh why not tell him everything?
Tell him how you would dream just to not lose sight of what he might be
Tell him how many years you didn't believe
Let him know you were way afraid of him
Ironically

I'll play it safely for the time being
And see if he looks at me
When I slink back inside
Alright, alright
I thought you might
And tonight I was right

Alright, I thought he might
And of all of nights
I was right tonight
He might be smiling slightly

Just say something more to him
Before his family goes outside
And moves from the [?] that shape his life
To the things that stole him away tonight

The candles never fear the water
They shine as brightly as they can, even floating
So be a candle, man
So be a man
So be the man who never stood a chance
With himself a romance make and [?] waking up with someone other than himself
Or let him leave tonight and find yourself [peeing?] in the tide that mocks your trial
And stay a while again, throwing candles in the sea

Oh you are weak will
You are weak
And you might be meaningless
But you're right to fight that feeling
Throwing candles in the sea
Watching them lose light feels so perfect for tonight

[?] and stay a while again, throwing candles in the sea
Watching them lose light feels so perfect for tonight
[?] and stay a while again, throwing candles in the sea
