[Verse 1]
Unlit candles in the dark
Ain't failing
They just wait for the meaning of the spark
Still breathing
Coffee cup cold on the floor
Clock blinking
I been staring at the same locked door
Just thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm late
Maybe I'm right on time
Waiting on a sign in the quiet of my mind
Every little shadow on the wall feels kind
Like it's drawing out a line I could finally find
[Chorus]
Unlit candles
They remember every flame
They ain't broken
They just waiting on a name
For the rhythm in the shade
Where the hidden colors play
Sometimes shadows show the shape
That the glare can't let you see (let me see)
[Verse 2]
Bare feet on the kitchen tile
Heart pacing
Neighbors' laughter bleeding through the wall
Still chasing
Every doubt dancing in my head
Slow spinning
Like a record in a faded room
Just beginning
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm lost
Maybe I'm on that track
Step into the dark and it starts to answer back
Every crooked outline on the ceiling cracks
Into something like a map that can lead me back
[Chorus]
Unlit candles
They remember every flame
They ain't broken
They just waiting on a name
For the rhythm in the shade
Where the hidden colors play
Sometimes shadows show the shape
That the glare can't let you see
[Bridge]
So dim that light down low (down low)
Let the quiet start to glow
What if every place I hid
Was a place I'm meant to go?
[Chorus]
Unlit candles
They remember every flame
I ain't broken
I'm just waiting on a name
For the rhythm in the shade
Where my crooked heart can sway
Sometimes shadows show the shape
That the glare can't let you see (let me see)
