lyrics

I lit a lantern for you
That I ended up using to find my way back and
It got burnt out before it got seen
But one day I'll go shopping for kerosene.

My heartache will lessen with the size of my heart
And though that's a good fit it doesn't feel good
And though I remember promising I would
I don't think I took care of myself.

And I've still got this scar on the side of my thumb
That will always be there but it's healing up nice
From the same night that you borrowed my knife
That you used without noticing the blood.

I lit a lantern for you
That I ended up using to find my way back and
It got burnt out before it got seen
But one day I'll go shopping for kerosene.

I lost perspective as soon as I could
Because my vision has never been great
And though starting now is starting too late
I have learned to play it by ear.

It'd be romantic to burn it all down
To shred every story and start again new
But I'm afraid that the way that I grew
Means that I'm sewn into these walls.

I lit a lantern for you
That I ended up using to find my way back and
It got burnt out before it got seen
But one day I'll go shopping for kerosene
In the morning I'll go shopping for kerosene.
