Light a Roman Candle with Me Lyrics
a roman candle is a type of firework. so when it talks about the sparks not glowing it's saying that he wants to take a chance with this girl. he wants the fireworks with her and even if it doesn't light, they tried. And he realizes that they may loose the spark too one day, but for now, they're young and have so much potential
Yep. Pretty much it. My favorite song on the record.

Also, adding on to what others have said already, the character in this song truly believes with all his/her heart that he/she is perfect for the person. He/she just knows that if this person gave him/her a chance that everything would work out perfectly. They've hung out before, but the speaker believes that if he/she shows the other who he/she truly is ("you haven't seen my best"), then the feelings would be mutual. And if things don't work out, which there is a very tiny chance of, then that's fine! He/she let him/her know what was going on and what the feelings were. But my point is...the character in this song knows he/she is perfect for the other, but the other isn't quite sure, or there's something holding him/her back.
This song is very much about the wish for there to be a relationship. He thinks that he is being underestimated, and that they should give it a try. "At least we would know if the sparks didn't glow, but we owe it to ourselves to try, so we aim and ignite!". At the end of the song he realizes that there isn't anything there, "your heart's not breaking, and mine isn't making a sound". Their cute friendship/not really relationship is getting old, but they'll keep trying, because... why not?
This cd is so good :)
Yup! This song was one of the last ones to get stuck in my head but it is now. Can't wait for the official release!

"If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together a sandwich with everything on it, at least we would know that the sparks didn't glow but we owe it to ourselves to try, so we aim and ignite!"
Soooo good
i have been sort of lucky. for once in my life, i did stay up talking till three with my significant other. i do think it was magic, though i'm not sure if he thinks so, too. i HOPE he does.
but, you know. the lyrics so clearly state that things get old. no doubt i'll get old to him, and someday, eventually, and hopefully, i won't be too horribly upset about it.
i know i'm getting kinda picky here but it's "at least we would know IF the sparks didn't glow". it changes the meaning of the whole last part! he is ready for a relationship and she might not be, and he's just saying hey let's give it a shot and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work and at least we tried. but the way it's posted now is implying they already tried! best song ever by the way! every single line fits literally word for word for me and the girl i like! it's almost creepy how well it fits.......
No, it's definitely "at least we would know THAT the sparks didn't glow"... Listen to it again! Although I think it would have mad more sense if he said IF. In a way, I think he says 'that' but he still means 'if'. I don't really think it changes the meaning if you think of it my way, if any of that made any sense.

Dude...same...
This song is utterly adorable, but anyone have a reason for the "Perfect apple" line?
It probably has to do with temptation. The apple is something he wants, a perfect "something" with a perfect "someone", if that makes sense.

This song is about having sex with someone.
"Roman Candle" refers to an orgasm.
"Perfect apple" is a reference to adam and eve.
"Sandals" refers to birth control.
"Cup of tea" is ... (well go there people, think orgasm).
"You haven't seen my best" refers to prior attempts.
"I know it goes on and gest old" referes to the girls perspective.
So in summary this is a song about a relationship with someone who is being asked to come over and have sex one more time and see if sparks get rekindled or if not, just have some FUN!.
