Candy
Seventh Day Slumber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many nights wasted poisoning myself
Guess I just hated the emptiness I felt
To be excepted you gotta look like they do
But you held your hand out and took me just as I am
Your loves like candy oh like something
I've never tasted before
And you take me places
I never dreamed I could go
Oh I've been laughed at and broken in two
And I've felt the wrath that words of hate can do
Oh I've been stranded and left standing in the rain
But you picked my head up and carried me away from this place
Your loves like candy like something I've never tasted before




And you take me places I never dreamed I could go
And where would I be without you where would I go without you

I really like this song,but I'd love to hear them do a remake or updated version of this song. You know what I mean. The quality of this song is so different from their more recent stuff. I think a re-recording would make this song double in awesomeness. lol But it's really good as is.

Danette Johns
