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) |
