Song Lyrics

"Five Candles Acoustic"

by Jars Of Clay
Album: Jars 20: Much Afraid

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
Put out the lights and take a breath
Pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love

You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies brokes wide, wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies brokes wide, wide open

I remember you said
Love was more than your good intentions
Empty boxes on the floor
Of things I never asked you for
Pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love

You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies brokes wide, wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies brokes wide, wide open

And I can't see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
So I pray to God; I'm not holding on
To things You've left undone

You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies brokes wide, wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies brokes wide, wide open
