Matches Lyrics

ashes to ashes, some dust on the dash. i got my cigarettes.

but i can't find the fire that's calming me down.

i was just out on a night with my friends.

you are still out on a night with your friends

and you don't seem to tire when i'm not around.

i'm under the tunnel; i'm holding my breath.

i searched every pocket that hung in the closet

'til i found some matches in a brown leather jacket-

one i swore i'd never worn, but it once kept you warm.

do you remember we made love on the floor?

and you still haven't called so i wait until they're closin' the bars.

i made a wish but the match never lit.
