Like a Piece of Candy

In a city full of quiet streets where the pavement grows and the grass is dead
There's a girl singing softly down to her little brother sleeping in his bed
With her song she caressed the silence and drove the troubled dreams from his head
Pulled him out of his isolation, the sweetest remedy he could have
And she gave it all

She's like a piece of candy
I wanna bring her back now
She's like a piece of candy

Roll back to my younger days when the road was long and the cash was bread
Sleeping out in the mountain cold with the dog next to me in my bed
Going out to the western shore with another van, another song
No matter what the struggle said, she was worth every second all along
Yeah she gave it all

She's like a piece of candy
I wanna bring her back now
She's like a piece of candy

Looking back on all the sound I tasted, it makes me wanna go feast some more
Open ears are an invitation; another bridge, another door
A true breath of communication you can't buy in any store
And we played it all

She's like a piece of candy
I wanna bring her back now
She's like a piece of candy
