Candy Crash Carousel
by K/45
Lyrics
Verse 1
Spilled my soda on my brand-new shoes
Laughing on the sidewalk
Nothing to lose
You pull faces on my camera roll
Every ugly picture makes my heart feel whole
Pre-Chorus
We talk too loud in tiny cafes
Turn every quiet minute sideways
You say my name like it’s a dare
Why do I like it?
Why do I care?
Chorus
We’re on a candy crash carousel
Spinning till the whole world melts
Cherry lips and crooked frames
You turn my glitches into games
Riding this candy crash carousel
Screaming like we’re doing well
If we fall
Then what the hell
Spin me again
On this candy crash carousel
Verse 2
Missed the last train
So we race the dawn
Counting every upstairs window still on
You draw stars in the fogged-up glass
Say
“Make a wish” and then you just laugh
Pre-Chorus
We chase dumb luck through traffic lights
Collecting tiny perfect nights
You say my fears in your own words
Why does it calm me?
Why does it hurt?
Chorus
We’re on a candy crash carousel
Spinning till the whole world melts
Cherry lips and crooked frames
You turn my glitches into games
Riding this candy crash carousel
Screaming like we’re doing well
If we fall
Then what the hell
Spin me again
On this candy crash carousel
Bridge
[Half-time
Guitars hit harder]
Maybe this is foolish
Maybe that’s the charm (hey!)
Painting little thunderbolts
On each other’s arms
If tomorrow breaks the spell
Promise we won’t say farewell
Just “see you at the carousel”
(see you at the carousel)
Chorus
We’re on a candy crash carousel
Spinning till the whole world melts
Cherry lips and crooked frames
You turn my glitches into games
Riding this candy crash carousel
Laughing like we’re doing well
If we fall
Then what the hell
Spin me again
On this candy crash carousel
