MATCHLIGHT
TitanChord
Intro
Funny what you can see
when the dark only gives you a second.
Verse 1
Matchlight caught your photograph
Face down beside the bed
For one small yellow second
You looked alive again
Saw the dust along the dresser
Saw the ring I never moved
Saw a room I'd learned to live in
Still arranged around you
Hook
Matchlight
Burn bright
Give me one more second tonight
Matchlight
Don't die
Let me see what I keep trying to hide
One little flame
One little truth
Everything comes back to you
Matchlight
Burn bright
Then leave me with the night
Verse 2
Found your handwriting in a Bible
Found your coat behind the door
Found the key you said you'd lost
In the crack beneath the floor
Every little thing was waiting
Like it knew I'd look someday
Funny how the dark protects you
Till a little light gets brave
Strike one—
Your eyes.
Strike two—
That dress.
Strike three—
The night you said
“You'll miss me when there's nothing left.”
Damn you.
You were right.
Matchlight
Burn bright
Give me one more second tonight
Matchlight
Hold on
Long enough to prove I'm not wrong
One little flame
One little truth
Everything still leads to you
Matchlight
Burn bright
Then leave me where you found me—
In the dark
