5 Candles (you Were There) Lyrics - Singles - Jars Of Clay

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 

You were there when I needed you 

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open 

(Wide, wide open) 

You were there when I needed you 

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open 

But 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 

You were there when I needed you 

(Aaa) 

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open 

(Wide, wide open) 

You were there when I needed you 

(Aaa) 

You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open 

(Wide, wide open) 

(Ooo) 

(Aaa) 

And I can't see the promise of 

(Ooo) 

(Aaa) 

Excuses you fall upon 

So I pray to God not holdin' on 

(Ooo) 

(Aaa) 

To things you've left undone 

Eyea hey, hey, hey 

(Aaa) 

Eyea hey, hey, hey 

(Aaa) 

(Aaa) 

(Wide, wide open) 

You were there when I needed you 

(Aaa) 

You were there when the skies broke wide wide open 

(Wide, wide open) 

You were there when I needed you 

(Aaa) 

You were there when the skies broke wide wide open 

(All about love) 

(Wide, wide open) 

You were there when I needed you 

(Aaa) 

You were there when the skies broke wide wide open 

(All about love) 

(Wide wide, open) 

You were there when I needed you 

(Aaa) 

You were there when the skies broke wide wide open 

(All about love) 

(Wide wide, open) 

You were there when I 

You were there when I 

You were there when I needed you 

(Aaa) 

(Aaa) 

(Wide, wide) 

(Aaa) 

(Aaa) 

(Wide, wide) 

(Aaa) 

(Wide, wide) 

(Aaa)
