Torches and Candles (Reversed)

[Verse 1] You were a spark in an empty hall Hands in your pockets Staring at the wall Everyone talking like they knew your name But nobody knew your flame I was the match that was scared to strike Hiding my heart in the quiet nights Dreaming of stages I had never seen Afraid I would tear the seam [Pre-Chorus] But some fires start in the smallest dark From one shaking hand From one stubborn heart If we light it once We can light this town [Chorus] Torches and candles Up in the rafters Watch how the shadows all spin into laughter We were the secret Now we’re the standard Turning these whispers to wild Roaring answers One little glow Now the whole room is gold Torches and candles This is the show we unfold [Verse 2] You take my hand as the curtains rise Nerves in your smile Thunder in your eyes All of our “maybes” hanging in the air But suddenly I feel you dare We find our courage in borrowed light Faces like lanterns in the velvet night Every “too different” every “you can’t” Becomes part of our grand dance [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause some dreams start with a single spark In an empty seat In a crowded heart If we light it once We can light this town [Chorus] Torches and candles Up in the rafters Watch how the shadows all spin into laughter We were the secret Now we’re the standard Turning these whispers to wild Roaring answers One little glow Now the whole room is gold Torches and candles This is the show we unfold [Bridge] (Male) If they say “too bright ” we’ll burn on anyway (Female) If they dim our lights We’ll rise like a new day (Together) Every scared soul sitting in the back row This is your cue This is your glow [Chorus] Torches and candles Lift them up higher See how a heartbeat can turn into fire We were the secret Now we’re the standard Turning these whispers to wild Roaring answers One little glow Started all that we know Torches and candles Welcome to our greatest show
