[[Verse 1] Another year came quietly Another candle on the cake Everybody tells me close my eyes Like there's a choice to make I could ask for something different Something I might really see But before I even think of it You're already there with me [Pre-Chorus] Another candle Another year I close my eyes And you're still here [Chorus] Made a wish I couldn't keep Blew it out before I knew Every year it feels the same I still think of you [Verse 2] I stopped believing wishes work A long, long time ago Still I lean into the candlelight And make the one I know Maybe it's just old devotion Maybe I can't let it end For a moment when my eyes are closed I have you back again [Pre-Chorus] Another candle Another year I close my eyes And you're still here [Chorus] Made a wish I couldn't keep Blew it out before I knew Every year it feels the same I still think of you [Instrumental Break - Expressive Violin Solo] [Bridge] I don't ask for forever now I know better than I did But when everybody says, "Make a wish" I'm right back where I began Maybe one year I'll want something That has nothing left of you But tonight the candles find me Doing what I always do [Final Chorus] Made a wish I couldn't keep Blew it out before I knew Every year it feels the same I still wish for you [Outro] Another candle Another year I close my eyes And you're still here
