Candles On The Cake
Embracing Moments: Love Beyond Time in 'Candles On The Cake'
Lyrics
Girl, everybody's racin' against the clock
People are in a hurry, trying to beat time.
You can't slow it down and it goes by fast
Time is unstoppable and passes quickly.
Everybody's runnin' short of breath
Everyone is running out of time, feeling breathless.
cddin' each year we can't get back
Expressing regret for the irretrievable loss of each passing year.
We're all headed down the same road
We are all on a common journey or destiny.
Gotta love and live it up cause you never know
Encouraging to enjoy life to the fullest because it's unpredictable.
We can't buy another day somehow
Desire for more time, a plea for an extension somehow.
We won't know when our sand runs out
Uncertainty about the remaining time in life.
It ain't about how much time we're around
Emphasizing the quality of time over its quantity.
It's not the candles on the cake
Downplaying the significance of age represented by candles.
But the love we make that counts
Stressing the importance of the love shared rather than age.
No matter how many sunsets we'll ever see
Regardless of how many experiences, one more isn't sufficient.
One more painted sky won't be enough
Highlighting the insufficiency of time to fully experience life.
If we could live for a thousand years
Expressing a desire for eternal youth and avoiding aging.
We'd stay young at heart and never grow up
Wishing to stay young at heart and resist growing old.
Here and now dancin' in the moonlight
Embracing the present moment, dancing under the moonlight.
Let's raise a glass to the past and celebrate tonight
Celebrating and toasting to the past.
We can't buy another day somehow
Reiteration of the desire for more time.
We won't know when our sand runs out
Emphasizing the uncertainty of life's duration.
It ain't about how much time we're around
Repeating the importance of quality over quantity of time.
It's not the candles on the cake
Reiterating that age is not the focus; love is.
But the love we make that counts
Underscoring the significance of love in life.
Baby, close your eyes and make a wish
Encouraging a hopeful gesture, possibly linked to birthdays.
Blow'em out, give me a kiss
Symbolic act of making a wish and expressing affection.
We can't buy another day somehow
Repetition of the desire for more time.
We won't know when our sand runs out
Reiterating uncertainty about life's duration.
It ain't about how much time we're around
Emphasizing the importance of quality over quantity of time.
It's not the candles on the cake
Repeating that age is not the focus; love is.
But the love we make that counts
Emphasizing the significance of love in life.
It's not the candles on the cake
Further emphasizing that age is not the focus; love is.
But the love we make that counts
Final reinforcement of the importance of love in life.
