"Just please respect the candles in a line"

It might mean, along with the young love line, to not step ahead of your age; to not skip birthdays (hence the candles) and try to act older than you are by supposedly falling in love.

I felt like the candles represented the star so the lyrics maybe meant respect your destiny or something.
