Five Candles (You Were There) - Lyrics by Jars Of Clay


Lyrics
A 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

Turn out the lights and take a breath

Pray that when the wick is burned

You would say that it's all about love

[
Chorus:]


You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open

You were there when I needed you

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open


You were never here

I remember you said

Love was more than your good intentions

Empty boxes on the floor

Things I never asked you for
I pray that when the wick is burned

You would say that it's all about love

[
Chorus]

I can't see the promise of

Excuses you fall upon
I pray to God not holding on

To things you've left undone

[
Chorus x 2]


You were there when I

You were there when I

You were there when I needed you
