Jars Of Clay - Five Candles
a promise or a dare
i would jump if i knew you'd catch me
staring over the edge
i can't tell if you'll be here for me
i close my eyes and make a wish
turn out the lights and take a breath
pray that when the wick is burned
you would say that it's all about love
CHORUS:
you were there when i needed you
you were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
you were there when i needed you
you were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
you were never here
i remember you said
love was more than your good intentions
empty boxes on the floor
things i never asked you for
i pray that when the wick is burned
you would say that it's all about love
[CHORUS]
i can't see the promise of
excuses you fall upon
i pray to God not holding on
to things you've left undone
[CHORUS x 2]
you were there when i
you were there when i
you were there when i needed you
