Candle Flame in your Vein (Version 2)

Verse 1

Skin against skin

We sway beneath the same starlight beam

Fingers find my wristbone like a compass

Pulse is counting up and down we're free

Your pulse finds mine like an old familiar hum

We move as one thing turned into light

Every step is pulling us closer to it

Nothing left but the two of us tonight

Pre-Chorus

Hold me steady, hold the rhythm slow

Let your heat run through my bones and glow

Chorus

Candle flame in your vein

Moving to the same old heartline

Candle flame in your vein

I feel you burning through the dark till morning time

We don't need no walls between us

Just the two of us, this warm hum we've been

Candle flame in your vein

Every step we take will bring us near again

Verse 2

Your hand finds mine and we both look up

Cities shining bright with a thousand little cups

Of gold light pouring out from every window frame

We're the only ones who know what's really here to claim

The streets are full of strangers passing by

But they don't feel this same quiet in their eye

Only us, moving through the city heat

Till the whole world stops and starts at our own feet

Pre-Chorus

Hold me steady, hold the rhythm slow

Let your heat run through my bones and glow

Chorus

Candle flame in your vein

Moving to the same old heartline

Candle flame in your vein

I feel you burning through the dark till morning time

We don't need no walls between us

Just the two of us, this warm hum we've been

Candle flame in your vein

Every step we take will bring us near again

Bridge

No clock ticking over our shoulders now

Just skin and light where shadows used to be

This isn't something we can find elsewhere

Only right here between you and me

Chorus

Candle flame in your vein

Moving to the same old heartline

Candle flame in your vein

I feel you burning through the dark till morning time

We don't need no walls between us

Just the two of us, this warm hum we've been

Candle flame in your vein

Every step we take will bring us near again
