Candles by Hey Monday! is featured in Original Song, the sixteenth episode of Season Two. It's sung by Blaine and Kurt as a duet during Regionals with the rest of the Dalton Academy Warblers singing backup. Blaine chooses the song because it is very "emotional," and that he mostly wants to sing with Kurt just so that he can "spend more time with him" which leads to them kissing for the first time. Before the performance, Kurt admits to being nervous because it is the first time he has ever performed a solo in front of a competition audience. Despite expecting criticism from Blaine for being nervous, he assures Kurt that he finds it "adorable." Along with Raise Your Glass, this wins The Warblers second place at Regionals.
It is originally performed by Hey Monday! from their debut studio album, Hold On Tight. A revamped and demo version is also featured on their second EP of the same name.
LYRICS:
Kurt with Warblers:
The power lines went out
And I am all alone
But I don't really care, at all
Not answering my phone
Blaine with Warblers:
All the games you played
The promises you made
Couldn't finish what you started
Only darkness still remains
Blaine and Kurt with Warblers:
Lost sight
Couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
Kurt and Blaine with Warblers:
Been black and blue before
Kurt with Warblers:
There's no need to explain
I am not the jaded kind
Playback's such a waste
Kurt and Blaine with Warblers:
You're invisible,
Invisible to me
My wish is coming true
Erase the memory of your face
Lost sight
Couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
Kurt with Warblers:
One day,
You will wake up
With nothing but "you're sorrys"
Blaine with Warblers
And someday,
You will get back
Kurt and Blaine with Warblers:
Everything you gave me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Kurt:
Blow the candles out
Blaine:
(The candles out)
Kurt:
Looks like a solo tonight
Blaine:
(Solo tonight)
Blaine and Kurt:
But I think I'll be alright
