Striking Matches |
Striking matches and I’m smoking cigarettes |
Putting on the kettle, playing a cassette |
Folding up the papers rubbing my eyes |
Thinking of all that had happened last night |
The passion, the feelings that soaked in her love |
And the pools of silence when kisses were sprung |
Her love levitates me, I’m walking on air |
Two feet from the carpet, I’ll always be there |
Oooh I’m striking matches it’s morning again |
I look in the mirror I still look the same |
I’m striking matches it’s morning again |
I look in the mirror I go up in flames |
Striking matches getting a flame on the stove |
There’s some of her in the teeth of my comb |
Dirty clothes piled up on the bathroom floor |
She’s silently sleeping, I half close the door |
I see her beauty laying on my bed |
I’m warm from within me with what she has said |
Her love is my balloon, I won’t let it down |
For ever and ever I’ll always be proud |
I’m a director casting for a part |
(Turn on the light) |
It’s for a soap set here right in my heart |
(Leave her alone) |
Shuffle to the window shuffle to the door |
(Don't wake her up) |
She gets the part I don’t want to see anymore |
(Unplug the phone) |
