"Candy Scented Scars" is a sunburnt summer anthem about loving someone with self-destructive tendencies and unpredictable swings of passion and melancholia.

lyrics

Some nights you shine like a harvest moon
But you're a shooting star and you know that you are
You come to my door and you take off your shoes
And you take off your shirt as you enter the dark
As you enter the dark

Blowing smoke in my mind
Breathing fire in my heart
Then you leave me with a bubblegum smile and a candy scented scar
You leave me with a bubblegum smile and a candy scented scar
A candy scented scar

Some nights you sing like a soft white dove
But you're a whippoorwill when you go for the kill
You come to my door and you rattle the walls
And you cover my bed in roses and pills
In roses and pills

Blowing smoke in my mind
Breathing fire in my heart
Then you leave me with a bubblegum smile and a candy scented scar
You leave me with a bubblegum smile and a candy scented scar

Some nights you shine like a harvest moon
But you're a shooting star and you know that you are
Yeah, you know that you are
