MATCHLIGHT

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
