Frightened Rabbit - Candlelit lyrics

[Verse 1] Love's checkered past Is littered with violent acts And the blood that fills countless baths Each drop drawn in her name In this modern age The image of valor has changed But i'm ready and willing to wage A gut-wrenched war For a minute of your time [Chorus] I'm done playing stone-paper-scissors Going to grab that stone and bring 'em all down with it Steal those scissors and cut some throats Put pen to the paper and i'll write you a note I won't get in line I will not wait for this With my bare hands i k** Just to be candlelit With you [Verse 2] I have no checkered past I've never been a violent man Well maybe you've changed all that Each scar i carve is in your name So let the suitors come I can see them off, one by one Open every last artery up Just for a second of your time Oh [Chorus] I'm done playing stone-paper-scissors Going to take that stone and bring 'em all down with it Steal those scissors and cut some throats Put pen to the paper and i'll write you a note I won't get in line I will not wait for this With my bare hands i k** Just for the privilege [Bridge] Look at the blood bath Look at the mess i have made With my bare hands i k** Just to be candlelit With you [Outro] Oh i'd k** for one I'd k** for one night candlelit I'd k** for one I'd k** for one night candlelit
