REVELER Verse 1 Twenty-five candles burned down to the plate One wandering match and the house changed its name Before the smoke cleared another light came on Another woman’s window another borrowed dawn Pre-Chorus He doesn’t mend He moves Doesn’t repair He chooses another door another view Chorus Reveler revel while he can Dances beneath the lanterns running running from the land Reveler he loves the chase He loves the open door Every woman feels like freedom till she asks him for more Every road he’s taken still arrives with him Verse 2 Found another harbor hammered nails into the walls Then the bed went quiet and he never asked the cause Went shopping for a window while still sleeping inside Turned a lover to a roommate She declined He can’t spend love like currency and leave without the debt Chorus Reveler revel while he can Dances beneath the lanterns running running from the land Reveler he loves the chase He loves the open door Every woman feels like freedom till she asks him for more Every road he’s taken still arrives with him Verse 3 Bought himself a vessel four wheels and a bed Midlife in the rearview youth dancing in his head Troubadour in transit where responsibility fled A younger laugh behind him someone else’s shorts instead She can call herself a winner till the next HER arrives Winning someone’s attention isn’t knowing what survives The revel starts at midnight The accounting comes with light Bridge Where was he? What are they? Will he stay when wanting turns to need? Another face another place another temporary thrill He can run He can run He cannot hide forever Until the reveler discovers what he’s running from is him Final Chorus Reveler revelry is done Morning found the lanterns extinguished every one Reveler now where will he run? Kept changing all the scenery instead of changing him Outro Twenty-five candles a house vintage van a song So many exits for a man who swore the rooms were dear He can run He cannot hide forever Bill is on the table reveler has to pay. He can run He cannot hide forever Bill is on the table reveler has to pay.
