lyrics

Old flames and new flames in the city that sleeps
Round about midnight I often think
In Paris or LA, where does she keep
My candle burning? I'm trying to sleep

Lets play a game
It's called 'Remember'
It goes... um...
I moved to quickly
I've come to regret
The first time we played love
It's close to the vest
Soon we grew to the greatest I've had
Now I'm just tryin to make myself
Seem sad

Old flames and new flames in the city that sleeps
Round about midnight I often think
In Paris or LA, where does she keep
My candle burning? I'm trying to sleep

Let's play a game
It's called 'Forget'
It goes... Ah!!!
Remember the first time I slept on the couch
That was the night before you threw me out
That was the day before I came and got my stuff
I was standing in the doorway no longer in love
Now I'm just trying to make myself
Seem tough

Old flames and new flames in the city that sleeps
Round about midnight I often think
In Paris or LA, where does she keep
My candle burning? I'm trying to sleep

Let's play a game
It's called 'I Miss You A Lot'
It goes... ooo!!!
I shake and I shiver when I think of the night
We looked at eachother and sad hold on tight
It was dark but for the moon or was it a light
Florecent or solar, your skin shone so bright
My face fades fast but the feeling will keep
Now how the hell am I ever gonna
Sleep

Old flames and new flames in the city that sleeps
Round about midnight I often think
In Paris or LA, where does she keep
My candle burning? I'm trying to sleep
