Grennan, Tom - Lighting Matches Lyrics






I've had a long day, I've been walking on
Hands in pockets, Wishing on stars I can't see
I watch you city dreamers, left hometown believers
Looking down at the ground like me

We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows

But I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame so fire catches
Stay in the dark another day (are we alone?)
Will it all get better (are we alone?)
Or are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together

So I paint my eyes on, let conversation lie on
It feels like I've no room for time
Tell me which piece of you is missing
We all got past, it exists

We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows

But I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame so fire catches
Stay in the dark another day (are we alone?)
Will it all get better (are we alone?)
Or are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together

And I-I-I-I won't stand back
And I-I-I-I won't let it burn down
Gonna make this puzzle with a piece that doesn't fit
There must be something more to this

So I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame so fire catches
Stay in the dark another day (are we alone?)
Will it all get better (are we alone?)
Or are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together

    I've had a long day, I've been 
    walking on, hands in pockets
    Wishing on stars that I can't see
    I watch all you city dreamers
    left hometown believers
    Looking down at the ground like me

    We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
    Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows

    But I'm lighting matches
    Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
    Stay in the dark another day (I wanna know)
    Will it all get better (are we alone?)
    Or are we lost together

    Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
    Are we lost together
    Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
    Are we lost together

    So I lift my eyes up
    let conversation lie on
    It feels like I've no room for time
    Tell me which piece of you is missing
    We all got pasts, we fix them
    It's just the catch of being alive

    We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
    Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows

    But I'm lighting matches
    Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
    Stay in the dark another day (I wanna know)
    Will it all get better (are we alone?)
    Or are we lost together

    Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
    Are we lost together
    Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
    Are we lost together

    And I-I-I-I won't stand down
    And I-I-I-I won't let it burn down
    Can't make this puzzle with a piece that doesn't fit
    There must be something more than this

    So I'm lighting matches
    Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
    Stay in the dark another day (I wanna know)
    Will it all get better (are we alone?)
    Or are we lost together

    Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
    Are we lost together
    Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
    Are we lost together

  32. C.... E....

    Such a good song
