verse 1: About the almost’s and the should’ves The could’ves and the can’ts The moments you wish you picked With your heart and not your head I’ll do my best to tell you Sing it simply and explain How it’s extra to light the candles But no charge for the rain Interlude: X2 verse 2: We found the boy inside the boat The week rita left the band Richard left the party Took freedom by the hand We learned the louder they yell, The less likely they understand, So please be gentle with them, Be gentle with yourself. Hold me a seat i’ll be there soon I’ve starved the heart Gave the head too much room We do our best to number, Make up stories to explain It’s always extra to light the candle No charge for the rain Interlude: X2 verse 3: The sandwich board bullies jeered As henry left the stage. I find their convictions curious From this side of the cage. Did the universe reveal herself? Did she make herself known? Were you too busy? too important? To look up from the phone? Hold me a seat i’ll be there soon I’ve starved the heart Gave the head too much room We do our best to number, Make up stories to explain It’s always extra to light the candle No charge for the rain Interlude: X2 verse 4: In the terminal he reflected, All defenses laid down Figured a week at mayo Would lighten the crown. Craving offered comfort, Held tight his hand She’s dangerous in her friendship Because she understands. Best to know her better, Put your head inside her mouth Making friends with your monsters Is what sorts them out. We do our best to number, Make up stories to explain It’s always extra to light the candle No charge for the rain Interlude: X2 Verse 5: It’s dark in here i’m wondering Are these people leaning or in love? And do we even know Which it is until it’s gone? The condition is fragile, be careful going in The future’s uncertain, enjoy everything Hold me a seat i’ll be there soon I’ve starved the heart Gave the head too much room We do our best to number, Make up stories to explain It’s always extra to light the candle No charge for the rain
