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—It's—I—I—I—It’s—

It's—It—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 greats 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 [?] 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 just 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
