Candles in the drawer in the kitchen

From the ghosts of boyfriends birthdays past

The only one we couldn't put things in

Too small to fit anything but candles and keys

There's a leak in the roof right above the tv

Can't watch a movie when it rains

So we end up in a bed watching episode ten

For the seventeenth time over again

Begging the time to slow down

I know this is as good as it could get right now

I don't want to hold on too tight now

It's time that I can't replace

I can't bottle it up and I can't try to pour sugar into

Something that'll stay bittersweet

Paint from the chairs on the porch

Is stuck to the back of our legs

And we'll keep on going back and forth

On where we should live next

We'll know what to do and we'll know what to say

When tears get in the way

But there's a sweetness around this house in this town and this place today

I'm wishing the time would slow down

I know it's better than it's been right now

Don't want to hold on too tight now

It's time that I can't replace

I can't bottle it up and I can't try to pour sugar into

Something that'll stay bittersweet

I wouldn't say true love is overrated

I couldn't get away with that

I'm known for falling too hard and too fast

But there's something to say that I can't explain

About a love you don't want to give back

Don't want to hold on too tight now

It's time that I can't replace

I can't bottle it up and I can't try

Don't want to hold on too tight now

It's time that I can't replace

I can't bottle it up and I can't try to pour sugar into

Something that'll stay bittersweet

Into something that'll stay bittersweet
