avett love

I wish I was a flame, dancin’ in a candle

Lightin’ up your living room, high on the mantle

I could bring some romance, without any scandal

And then when you were done, you’d just put me out

I wish I was a tune, you sang in your kitchen 

Putting your groceries away, and washing your dishes

I could roll around your tongue, and ease the tension

And then when you were done, you’d just quiet down

But if I get too close, will the magic fade

Would I turn you off or away

If I pull you in, would I push you out

Or something here you care about

Well I’m at a loss for what to do, but I’m drawn to you

I wish I was a sweater, wrapped around your hips

And when it got too cold, into me you’d slip

And when the sun came back, you would hang me up

And I would watch you as you undress

But if I get too close, will the magic fade

Would I turn you off or away

If I pull you in would I push you out

Of something here you care about

Well I’m at a loss for what to do, but I’m drawn to you

I’m not a song, I’m not a sweater

I’m not a fire, I’m something better

I’m a man in love writin’ you a letter

Will you take it, will you keep it, will you read it, believe it

I wish I was a flame, dancin’ in a candle

lightin’ up your living room, high on the mantle

I could bring some romance, without any scandal
