Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
And I'll pour you just one cup of tea.
Then you can go and rest
You haven't seen my best, so
Just spend an evening with me
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
Or we could stay and talk until three.
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so
Light a roman candle with me.
Just a roman candle.
Just a perfect apple.
If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together
A sandwich with everything on it,
At least we would know that the sparks didn't glow
But we owe it to ourselves to try,
So we aim and ignite!
So often I call and I plead with you:
"Give me a chance!"
It's not often that I understand
The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right
So don't think of tomorrow tonight.
Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old
But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone
You look for a legend,
I'm looking for common ground.
Your heart isn't breaking,
And mine isn't making a sound.
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
Light a roman candle with me.
Just a roman candle.
Just a perfect apple.
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
And I'll pour you just one cup of tea.
Then you can go and rest
You haven't seen my best, so
Just spend an evening with me
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
Or we could stay and talk until three.
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so
Light a roman candle with me.
Just a roman candle.
Just a perfect apple.
If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together
A sandwich with everything on it,
At least we would know that the sparks didn't glow
But we owe it to ourselves to try,
So we aim and ignite!
So often I call and I plead with you:
"Give me a chance!"
It's not often that I understand
The ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right
So don't think of tomorrow tonight.
Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old
But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone
You look for a legend,
I'm looking for common ground.
Your heart isn't breaking,
And mine isn't making a sound.
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
Light a roman candle with me.
Just a roman candle.
Just a perfect apple.

"Roman Candle" refers to an orgasm.
"Perfect apple" is a reference to adam and eve.
"Sandals" refers to birth control.
"Cup of tea" is ... (well go there people, think orgasm).
"You haven't seen my best" refers to prior attempts.
"I know it goes on and gest old" referes to the girls perspective.
So in summary this is a song about a relationship with someone who is being asked to come over and have sex one more time and see if sparks get rekindled or if not, just have some FUN!.
Listen to it again!
Although I think it would have mad more sense if he said IF.
In a way, I think he says 'that' but he still means 'if'. I don't really think it changes the meaning if you think of it my way, if any of that made any sense.
for once in my life, i did stay up talking till three with my significant other.
i do think it was magic, though i'm not sure if he thinks so, too.
i HOPE he does.
but, you know.
the lyrics so clearly state that things get old.
no doubt i'll get old to him, and someday, eventually, and hopefully, i won't be too horribly upset about it.
a sandwich with everything on it,
at least we would know that the sparks didn't glow
but we owe it to ourselves to try,
so we aim and ignite!"
Soooo good
