A Pleasant Life

He lay on his back and stared at the moon
She said she'd be home 'til noon
Dinner is getting cold
If something went down he'd know

The candle light was filling the empty room
The fire burned out too soon
He'd sit and watch a show
What happened he'll never know

When I get high I think of you
I cannot find a decent love anymore
How will I know if it can be restored
How will I know what to do
If I get by I'll be with you
Surely that must be what true love is for
How will we know how to be reassured
That one and one is two

I light a candle for you
I light a candle to our love

He lay on his back and stared at the moon
She said she'd be home real soon
He'd sit and watch a show
Why don't we light a candle to our love

For the love we left behind
The times we lost our minds
The times when we were angrier than most

For the ones we travelled from
The times we carried on
The times we managed to see past ourselves

For the one kiss that she stole
The one who never told
The feelings they kept hidden to themselves

For the ones who called you names
The ones who played cruel games
The ones who stayed awake through sleepless nights

For the girl who left you there
The ones who disappeared
The ones who never made their way back home

For the plane that landed safe
For the love that we create
For the love we thought was left behind

For the tears that no one saw
The times we were in awe
Of the bands who played much better than ourselves

For the times we never knew
That the reason we were blue
Was just because we shared a pleasant life
