Like the light was all I had
I struck the book with my last match
The candle burnt so soft and slow
I felt the warmth and felt its glow
Salt tasting tears
They were all off of my lips
One for each day I'm inside this house
It's a trap
One I can't quite escape
So pretend it's the place that I love
Won't let it pass me by again
Won't let it pass me by again

The glass was glim
The summer sun was beating down on my front yard


All the boys and girls would laugh
If I watch them through the curtain's crack
Place all your bets
And watch me lose
The life that I got but never use
Dream every night
That one would come true but only bad ones ever do
Won't let it pass me by again
Won't let it pass me by again

My heart beats way too fast
Til that we rest it in my lap

Won't let it pass me by again
Won't let it pass me by again
