Hide Your Matches Lyrics

Hide Your Matches lyrics

I could catch just like a candle

Melt myself down to an end

And I
have no way of ever coming back 'round here again

Or I could glow just
like an amber

Rising out of an autumn fire

Drifting toward the
heavens floating higher and higher

You better hide your matches boy



'Cause I could spark like thin white paper

Wrapped tight 'round
some cigarette

And leave nothing but the smell of smoke and the bitter
taste of regret

Or I could get hot like them coals that turn the water
into steam

And fall down around you like some misty morning

You
better hide your matches boy

You better hide your matches boy



[Chorus:]

Oh, 'cause I'm bound to lose all I am right here in your
arms

And it ain't gonna take much

And it ain't gonna take long

So you best turn your eyes if you're not ready tonight

To watch me burn
like this

You better hide your matches



'Cause I can't afford
to let you go

I'm afraid to draw you near

'Cause I could get so
lost in you that I might disappear

And the words are on the tip of my
tongue

But you won't hear a sound

'Cause once that fire gets going
there's no way to slow it down

You better hide your matches boy

You
better hide your matches boy



[Repeat Chorus]



You
better hide your matches boy

Oh, yeah

You better hide your matches
boy
