Blow out the Candles

Chris Shiflett


I am a stone dropped a hundred stories
I'm alone if I'm not with you
Through the phone, I'm a distant echo
Crashing through the sky to you
Crashing through the sky to you

I remember sittin' at your piano
Held your hands and your blue stare too
Spilled your wine red on the carpet
A beautiful girl that I once knew
Beautiful girl that I once knew

So come on baby, please
Celebrate your birthday with me
Let your fingers twirl
Lick the frosting and kiss the girl
Blow out the candles and burn down the whole fucking world

Sooner or later, we should come to our senses
But let's drink before we change our minds
I've spent my whole life just building fences
Take a chance and tear 'em down this time
Take a chance and tear 'em down this time

So come on baby, please
Celebrate your birthday with me
Let your fingers twirl
Lick the frosting and kiss the girl
Blow out the candles and burn
Blow out the candles and burn
Blow out the candles and burn down the whole fucking world
