Wil Wagner - Trying to Light a Candle With a Spark lyrics

[Verse 1] Something popped and all the lights went off in our house And our landlord is dead or something so I guess we just don't get electricity now And the lighter that we use to find our way to the bathroom is out of gas Finally get a flame going and a gust of wind comes flying through the gaps in the window an old housemate smashed [Chorus] And I'm in my room upstairs trying to light a candle with a spark Yeah I'm in my room upstairs trying to light a candle with a spark [Verse 2] And there's a guy who looks just like me on a missing person's poster Blu-Tak'ed to a Perspex wall In North Melbourne train station .. digital reconstruction and his weary eyes .. nothing of his weary soul You and I should be getting the sleeper train to Bejing or sitting in a coffee shop high as hell in Holland And you're riding a bike over as I jump over the barriers and I'll meet you up on Errol Street and explain the situation of the electricity [Chorus] And now we're in my room upstairs trying to light a candle with a spark Sat alone in my room upstairs trying to light a candle with a spark [Verse 3] And I said I think I'm about to fall in love with you But I also think I am about to be sick - about to be sick But that has absolutely nothing to do with you Oh I just get so nervous and then I drink and I drink and I drink too much. There's a guy who looks just like me on an ad for joining the Army - and he smiles likes he happy [?] hit from the TV Maybe I'll go join the army so I have something to defend - you lean and kiss my forehead and it's alright again. [Chorus] And we are in my room upstairs trying to light a candle with a spark We are in my room upstairs trying to light a candle with a spark And I've never met anyone so capable of eradicating the dark And we're in my room upstairs and I'm convincing you that I'm not about to break your heart
