Candlelight on Concrete (Version 2)

Intro

Candlelight on concrete

Holding my breath in the cold

Streetlights bleeding into blue

Verse 1

Empty chair but you left your coat behind

Coffee gone cold but I still taste your mind

Barefoot on gravel where we used to talk

City's humming louder than our walk

Chorus

Candlelight on concrete, burning slow and low

Every step away is still a flame that glows

Candlelight on concrete, keep me moving in the dark

Even when it fades I'm holding onto this spark

Verse 2

Your scarf tied around my wrist like a promise kept

Buses rumble by but my heartbeat doesn't stop

Window reflection shows you standing right here beside me

Same four blocks we walked for three whole years

Chorus

Candlelight on concrete, burning slow and low

Every step away is still a flame that glows

Candlelight on concrete, keep me moving in the dark

Even when it fades I'm holding onto this spark

Bridge

Maybe endings look like goodbye

But maybe they're just another door

I'll hold the glow till morning comes around

This light don't leave, this city's found a way to keep us warm

Chorus

Candlelight on concrete, burning slow and low

Every step away is still a flame that glows

Candlelight on concrete, keep me moving in the dark

Even when it fades I'm holding onto this spark

Outro

Concrete remembers where your feet used to be

Still lit for you no matter what the morning sees
