Candle
Eternal Flame: Guy Sebastian's Ode to Unmatched Love
Lyrics
I'm like ten thousand miles from you
I am physically distant, around ten thousand miles away from you.
And there's like ten thousand girls in view
There are numerous girls in my vicinity, but my attention is on you.
They're tryna save them with me
Other girls are trying to connect with me.
Get their drink on for free
They are attempting to get free drinks by associating with me.
Tryna get to my hotel room
They are making efforts to reach my hotel room.
Back it up, back it up, back it up
Repeated lines emphasizing a desire to avoid certain actions.
I ain't tryna do nothing, nah nah
-Back it up, back it up, back it up
-All I want is my woman
All I desire is to be with my significant other.
'Cause they don't hold a candle
Expressing that others cannot compare to the romantic significance of the partner.
To you, to you
-You're my better handful
-It's true, it's true
-Ain't nobody taking your place
-You're the only body I praise
-They don't hold a candle
-Yeah, they don't hold a candle to you
-She got that dress on to show her curves
Describing a woman's appearance and a suggestive interaction.
And she came backstage to do some work
-I knew when she said hello
-She was ready to go
-Ran her finger 'round my shirt
-Back it up, back it up, back it up
Reiteration of the desire to avoid certain actions and focus on the significant other.
I ain't tryna do nothing, nah nah
-Back it up, back it up, back it up
-All I want is my woman
-My woman
-'Cause they don't hold a candle
Repeating the sentiment that others do not match up to the partner.
To you, to you
-You're my better handful
-It's true, it's true
-Ain't nobody taking your place
-You're the only body I praise
-They don't hold a candle
-Yeah, they don't hold a candle to you
-To you
Reiteration of the focus on the significant other.
'Cause no one puts their hands on me like you
Highlighting the unique and intense connection with the partner.
Yeah, nothing ever burns like your flame
-That's why I ran and give you my name
-'Cause they don't hold a candle
Reaffirmation that no one compares to the partner.
No one holds a candle to you
-Ain't nobody taking your place
Emphasizing the exclusivity of praise for the partner.
You're the only body I praise
-'Cause they don't hold a candle
-Yeah, they don't hold a candle to you
Reiteration that no one can match the partner's significance.
