Lyrics

The hours are passing The sand in the glass Is falling down like rain The seasons are changing The chords on the page Are spelling out your name But we wrote the book Before we read it We dove head first Into a crowded heaven And seats are all sold out I don't wanna drag your heart around I don't wanna burn this candle down And though it's killing me I've gotta set you free The theater is empty The ushers are sweeping All that's left behind The backstage is buzzin The house lights are humming And the floors are drenched in wine But you grabbed my arm To steal me away From the friends that I love And the scene that I made it The plane is taking off I don't wanna drag your heart around I don't wanna burn this candle down And though it's killing me I've gotta set you free We're lyin down for the last time 'Cause I gotta leave before the end of the night Ooooooooo This isn't a break up It's only a wake up Tomorrow we'll move on We won't be together But we'll always remember The meaning of this song I don't wanna drag your heart around I don't wanna burn this candle down And though it's killing me I've gotta set you free I hope that you can see That I've gotta set you free
