Another day has gone too far
Too busy in the clouds
Reaching up
For your chance to speak out loud
And you could leave if you wanted
But how much do you want it?
Strike a match
Hold it to my name
And I’ll try to explain
But there’s something always standing in my way
So, try it on, just try your luck
Your best won’t ever do
You lie, cheat and smile
As you’re pushing your way through
And of these moments that I’ve wasted
Yours is the moment I’m still left with
Strike a match
Hold it to my name
And I’ll try to explain
But there’s something always standing in my way
Wake your heart from its sleep
Live the love you dare to keep
Live the la la la la la
I don’t know if things will change
But they cannot stay the same
You know they cannot stay that way
As people come and as people go
The jealousy expires
And I can’t talk
Keep talking every night
But I’ll miss you in the meanwhile
Alone we walk the half-mile
Strike a match
Hold it to my name
And I’ll try to explain
But there’s something always standing in my way
But there’s something always standing in my way
