Knight of Torches • Official Lyrics by Vervain and the Roses

When we met upon my porch
And you pulled the Knight of Torches
You left my heart a little scorched
Through no fault of your own

And then you asked to hear my song
I played and then you sang along
And I started wondering if it was wrong
To like our time alone

Cause here's the thing: of course you're hot
And though you called me "divine," I'm not,
You're on my mind now quite a lot
And my mind loves to wander

Wander here, wander there
Wander any lovely where
Fingers wandering through your hair
In the dreamland over yonder
(over yonder)

And I think I might like you
And I think you could get me in trouble
Makes me wanna do shit I shouldn't do
It's the eternal human struggle
But this I tell you true:
What I really like about you
Is how you light up the whole room
Yeah you light up the whole room

Now look at me, I'm all distracted
I'm sorry for the way I acted
I was dangerously attracted
To someone who's not mine

And look at that, I fell for you
I'm doing things that I ought not do
But honeybee, what else is new?
I do it all the time

But all I really came to say
Is that, despite my pagan ways,
I'd like to keep the vows I've made
And we should just be friends

And if you're thinking "what the fuck?
This girl is really fucking pushing her luck!"
Please don't ever bring it up
And I'll never say this again
(Never say this again)

But I think I might like you
And I think you could get me in trouble
Makes me wanna do shit I shouldn't do
It's the eternal human struggle
But this I tell you true:
What I really like about you
Is how you light up the whole room
Yeah you light up the whole room
